Schwa Lyrics

"There's a gold mine up on the mountainside, but you never gonna get it if you never gonna try."

Sit down here with me, I'll tell you all I know
Of golden mountainsides, and the stories Mama told
You know that life will take you on the wildest of rides
But you can take your time, 'cause time is on your side

I believe that happiness comes and goes away
If you try real hard you can find it every day
You got to learn to live before you can live to learn
If you got time to talk it over, I got one more to burn

And you turn around and turn around, while life just passes by
And you turn around and turn around, still reaching for the sky
And you turn around and turn around, you got to get ahead
Mama said, "There's a gold mine up on the mountainside, but you never gonna get it if you never gonna try."

I know the time will come when I'll be here no more.
Don't forget me when I head out the door.
'Cause I'll be back to claim my share of gold.
And I'll have one new body for my same old soul.

And you turn around and turn around, while life just passes by
And you turn around and turn around, still reaching for the sky
And you turn around and turn around, you got to get ahead
Mama said, "There's a gold mine up on the mountainside, but you never gonna get it if you never gonna try."
