A special treat during the Annual Meeting was the folk duo, Friction Farm, introducing a song they wrote about The Mountain. [video of Friction Farm performance.
The chorus of this song represents the current attitude and direction at The Mountain.
We can, we can, make a difference if we try…
We can, we can, change the world you and I…
Lyrics for the song, We Can – The Mountain
There is wisdom on the mountain top
In the stillness of meditation rock
See how nature thrives in adversity
In the twisted beauty of ancient oak
I will let this sacred place evoke
The spirit of possibility
It's not much but it's something I can do
Just a little thing but if you do it too
We can, we can make a difference if we try
We can, we can change the world you and I
Every person has a story
Their tragedy, their time of glory
Our histories have colored what we see
If I share the things I know
Listen deeply so I can grow
Bridge the distance between you and me
It's not much but it's something I can do
Just a little thing but if you do it too
We can, we can make a difference if we try
We can, we can change the world you and I
A bumper sticker says be the change
But it's hard work to rearrange
Our hearts and minds but that's where we must begin
If I learn new skills so I can choose
To walk the walk live my values
Light the world a little from within
It's not much but it's something I can do
Just a little thing but if you do it too
We can, we can make a difference if we try
We can, we can change the world you and I
It’s the cash and volunteering, re-purposed staff and engineering,
these all help The Mountain make it through.
You live your values, walk the walk, it’s so much more than just talk the talk.
For everything you do, we say, “thank you.”
It’s not much, but it’s something we can do.
Just a little thing, but really, we thank you.
We can, we can, make a difference if we try.
We can, we can, change the world you and I.
We will change the world, you and I.
