Lyrics

From my retreat and view

Make my own break through

And I might see things new

From my retreat and view

There's visions to behold

Treasures to unfold

Home away from home

From my retreat and view

Well the higher you go

The more that you know, you can find

Like a memory that's there

Stuck in the back of your mind

There's bargains of the soul

Dreams that do unfold

Now I know it's true

From my retreat and view

There's bargains of the soul

Treasures to behold

Some time to start anew

From my retreat and view

From my retreat and view

Got to make my own break through

So I can see things new

From my retreat and view

High up on the mountainside

From my retreat and view

The place to satisfy

From my retreat and view

From my retreat and view

Got to make my own break through

So I can see things new

From my retreat and view
