Lyrics
What of this land with these mountains risin’ high
Never seen a mountain that never could be climbed.
What of these times, rivers runnin’ fast and wide
No waters run too deep for to reach the other side.
I’ll bet any money that when the whole world is down on you
You can do anything now
You can take it on, let it in, let in turn you through

There’s only one road on
Up to high, high ground.
Rollin’ on and on
‘Til there’s no way down.
Pretty soon these drivin’ wheels
Will all be turned around
You got the Last Fair Deal Goin’ Down.

What of bad luck beneath these shaken shattered storms
The rain is falling, it’s bitter and it’s cold.
What of your heart, sweetest thing was ever known
Like seasons spinnin’ within dreams blue, silver, red and gold.
I’ll bet any money that when the rain is fallin’ down on you
You can do anything now.
You can take it on, let it in, let in turn you through

There’s only one road on
Up to high, high ground.
Rollin’ on and on
‘Til there’s no way down.
Pretty soon these drivin’ wheels
Will all be turned around
You got the Last Fair Deal Goin’ Down.

Alight in the distance
There is a burnin’ field of fire
But right here in the black and white
Of the here and now
You’ve got to move on higher
You gotta a little piece of a big, big soul . . .
