Hope Mountain - Antony & The Johnsons

Hope Mountain

Is the place where

The girl first dawned her face

For the crowd

That was gathered

Outside her dark white cave

And then scores of

Soaring eagles

Lift her to the breaking day

We are waiting

And we’re watching

The waters as they sigh

Hope Mountain

Is the place where

The people come to cry

She was born

Like a diamond

Out of the mountainside

She treasures our

Brokenness

And will raise us from the tide

We laid there

Gently resting

On the golden green

In the falls

Of the foxes

The hungry and relieved

It’s time to

Take a wild flight

And let things start again

It’s time

To produce what’s right

And start to make amends

Look

Look in the water

Look who it is

It’s just Jesus

This time she’s a girl

This time she’s a girl
