Words & Music by Patresa Hartman

lyrics

Take this tired heart and make it beat
Take this tethered mind and set it free

Mother Mountain, I'm at your feet
Mother Mountain, I'm begging please

Take this bitter tongue and make it wise
Take me from my knees and help me rise

Mother Mountain, I'm at your feet
Mother Mountain, I'm begging please

I am not the first to hurt
I am not the first to come to you broken
My predicament is small and ordinary
I see that in the face of your grand beauty
But, oh, will you have mercy?

Take this dusty stone and make it shine
Show me how to leave the past behind

Mother Mountain, I'm at your feet
Mother Mountain, I'm begging please
Mother Mountain, I'm at your feet
Oh, will you have mercy?
