Thank you for your vision
Thank you for what you saw
We never thought on this earth
A man could touch the sky up above 

A view from the mountaintop
Right under God's heaven in the sky
A view from the mountaintop
Like an eagle flying high, high, high

One day you had a dream
One day you had a vision
You saw the world together as one
So divine was your wisdom

You led with your love so strong
Teaching us that love is all right, not all wrong
You looked over and saw the promised land
As we follow your footsteps in the sand

A view from the mountaintop
Right under God's heaven in the sky
(Right under God's heaven in the sky)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(A view from the mountaintop)
Like an eagle flying high
(Like an eagle flying high, high, high)

Now that you've gone
It's time for us to carry on
(Carry on, carry on)
Carry on the word, ooh yeah
From star to star from moon to sun

(A view from the mountaintop)
From the mountaintop
(Right under God's heaven in the sky)
Ooh
(A view from the mountaintop)
like an eagle flying high
(Like an eagle flying high, high, high)
Yeah

(A view from the mountaintop)
Right under God's heaven
(Right under God's heaven in the sky)
Heaven in the sky yeah yeah yeah
(A view from the mountaintop)
like an eagle flying high
(Like an eagle flying high, high, high)
Ooh yeah yeah

(A view from the mountaintop)
Come on everybody now
(Right under God's heaven in the sky)
Ooh yeah yeah
(A view from the mountaintop)
like an eagle flying high
(Like an eagle flying high, high, high)
Yeah yeah yeah
(A view from the mountaintop
Right under God's heaven in the sky)
View from the mountaintop
(A view from the mountaintop)
like an eagle flying high
(Like an eagle flying high, high, high)
