Stan Stewart - Mountain Rose Lyrics

There's a rose on the mountain.
She can bloom without water.
She can form with no touch:
None apparent to human eyes.

How can a blossom
Form in such a frozen, rocky land?

Baffled by your beauty -
In the icy wind you can thrive.
While others wither,
Mountain Rose.

In the drifts of the snowfall
How can you be inspired?
Do you form your own fortress
In your warm heart that weathers storms?

How can a blossom
Form in such a cold and wint'ry land?

Baffled by your beauty -
In the icy wind you can thrive.
While others whither,
Mountain Rose.

For the rose there's a wellspring
That begins out of sight.
Where no eyes can perceive it;
Like it's petals own graceful delight.

How can a blossom
Form in such a frozen, rocky land?

Baffled by your beauty -
In the icy wind you can thrive.
While others whither,
Mountain Rose.
