Dan Fogelberg - Nether Lands Lyrics

High on this mountain
The clouds down below
I'm feeling so strong and alive
From this rocky perch
I'll continue to search
For the wind and the snow and the sky

I want a lover
I want some friends
And I want to live in the sun
And I want to do
All the things that I never have done

Sunny bright mornings
And pale moonlit nights
Keep me from feeling alone
Now, I'm learning to fly
And this freedom is like
Nothing that I've ever known

I've seen the bottom
And I've been on top
But mostly I've lived in between
And where do you go
When you get to the end of your dream?

Off in the Netherlands
I heard a sound
Like the beating of heavenly wings
And deep in my brain
I can hear a refrain
Of my soul as she rises and sings

Anthems to glory and
Anthems to love
And hymns filled with early delight
Like the songs that the darkness
Composes to worship the light

Once in a vision
I came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear
Yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go

One road was simple
Acceptance of life
The other road offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release
