[[underlined]] Mountain Song: [[underlined]] Holly Near/Meg Christian I have dreamed on this Mountain Since first I was my mother's daughter And you can't just take my dreams away Not with me watching You may drive a big machine But I was born a great big woman And you can't just take my dreams away Without me fighting This old mountain Raised by many daughters Some died young Some are still living But if you've come here to take this mountain Well, we ain't come here to give it. I have dreamed on this mountain Since first I was my mother's daughter And you can't just take my dreams away Not with me watching No you can't just take my dreams away With me fighting No you can't just take my dreams away. [[underlined]] Fight Back [[underlined]] Holly Near By day I live in terror By night I live in fright For as long as I can remember A lady don't go out alone at night A lady don't go out alone at night But I don't accept the verdict It's an old one anyway Nowadays a woman Can't even go out in the middle of the day Can't even go out in the middle of the day CHORUS: And so we've got to FIGHT BACK In large numbers FIGHT BACK, I can't make it alone FIGHT BACK, In large numbers Together we can make a safe home Together we can make a safe home WOmen all around the world Every color, religion and age One thing we have in common We can all be battered an raped We can all be battered an raped CHORUS Some have an easy answer Buy a lock and live in a cage But my fear in turning to anger And my anger's turning to rage I won't live my life in a cage CHORUS:
