Artist: Third Day
Album: Third Day Song: Love Song I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain Just to be with the one he loves How many times has he broken that promise It has never been done Well I never climbed the highest mountain, but I walked the hill of Calvary Just to be with you I'd do anything There's no price I would not pay Just to be with you I'd give everything Oh I'd give my life away And I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean Just to be with the one he loves All of those dream are empty motion It has never been done Well I've never swam the deepest ocean, but I've walked upon the raging sea Just to be with you I'd do anything There's no price I would not pay Just to be with you I would give everything I would give my life away And I know that you don't understand the fullness of my love How I died upon the cross for your sins And I know that you don't realize how much that I give you And I promise I would do it all again Just to be with you I've done everything There's no price I did not pay Just to be with you I gave everything Yes I gave my life away I gave my life away Just to be with you ********************************** This is the only song I could think of that mentions climbing the highest mountain and swimming the ocean. |
How about "Baby The Rain Must Fall" by Glenn Yarbrough?
"Some men climb a mountain, Some men swim the sea. Some men fly above the sky, They are what they must be. But baby the rain must fall, Baby the wind must blow. Wherever my heart leads me, Baby I must go." Does any of this sound familiar?? Gary |
Yeah...I have almost as many Third Day albums as I have Gord albums!!!! "Love Song" was the first song I heard of theirs...and I was hooked. Mack Powell's voice is amazing! "Come Together" is a really good album!

OK I tried a'googling for your lyrics sarah and found songs containing "highest mountain" or "seven seas" but not both together Eventually I did find a Google "cached" page from an apparently defunct geocities site with the verses of a poem called "to you"
at http://216.239.33.104/search?q=cache...hl=en&ie=UTF-8 two successive verses contain your words so that might be it. I couldn't let Annie get away with her results!!! ------------------ My Gordon Lightfoot webring starts at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot [This message has been edited by johnfowles (edited September 12, 2003).] |
Sigh. John, John, I'll tell you what I tell my kids: this is not a contest (nyah nyah)<g>.
In any event, it's not a Lightfoot lyric. |
Annie-you never cease to amaze me, who in the world is Arrogant Worms?
|
No clue - I found the link by googling the mountains/seas phrase +lyrics.

Watchman,
Did J.G. Snagglesworth TELL you this personally? (Maybe he perished in the river because you had to choose between saving him and Gord. A portions of his last words may have contained the message.) Rebecca quote:Originally posted by TheWatchman: The song is without a doubt called "Whipsering Mountains" by J.G. Snagglesworth. Good tune. Now it's stuck in my head. |
Rebecca,
J.G. Snagglesworth is one of the greatest songwriters of our time, but not a good canoeist. He has no legs and only one arm which contains only 2 fingers and thumb. Canoeing would be very frustrating, not to mention dangerous for him. He wrote such songs as "Autumn Leaves In The Mud", "Planes, Bikes and Skateboards", "Over Exposed Film Again", and a childrens song you may have heard of called "Opey The Hampster For Dinner Again". All good tunes that soooooth the soul. |
Watchman,
I'm sorry to hear that Snagglesworth isn't into canoeing because of his disability. Adaptive canoeing equipment now exists, with the capacity to overcome virtually any limitations, physical or otherwise. (This stuff is costly, of course, but with the blockbuster hits your man has composed, the cost would be mere pocket change to him.) If you see your friend J.G., you might mention it. There's no reason for him to miss out on a good thing. Rebecca quote:Originally posted by TheWatchman: Rebecca, J.G.

Annie,
Not from what I can recall from publications that I have read. If memory serves me correctly, J.G. is from North Umberland and all I know about his ancestory is that he comes from a very long line of reputable roofers. By the way, the Snagglesworth originals "Opey The Hamster For Dinner Again" and "Over Exposed Film Again" are true stories from his life. Even though he did not start singing and songwriting until his early 80's, he credits much of his inspiration to Lightfoot. Why wasn't he asked to sing something for that new tribute album? Tendervioletblue, I only edited for spelling. I promise. [This message has been edited by TheWatchman (edited September 13, 2003).] |
Sarah,I don't know if they've answered you question right or not but from what you left at the top,it sounds like a line from,"St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion) by John Parr. "I would climb the highest mountain,swim the seven seas,I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me!" I might be wrong but it sounds like it may be right. (I may be right,I may be crazy! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif )
------------------ Borderstone - "Little 'Ol Message Maker Me!" :) |
Brilliant sleuthing Walter a.k.a. "B"
the lyrics on St Elmo's fire are indeed very similar to Sarah/Beth's conundrum see:- http://paperclippings.com/list/JtoL/...elmosfire.html (chorus) I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me. Just cross the wildest sea not swim the seven seas but close enough Sarah/Beth?? ------------------ My Gordon Lightfoot webring starts at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot [This message has been edited by johnfowles (edited September 14, 2003).] |
Sounds like "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner..
------------------ Ever Onward... |
Yep. Definitely Foreigner.
|
|
|
Nar....
OK chuck and restless I had a look at this site:- http://www.lyricstime.com/lyrics/833.html and the lyrics of hot blooded by foreigner do not include any reference to any mountains let alone seas?? and the suggestion by Bill does not hold much water either see:- http://www.lyricsxp.com/lyrics/t/tuf...nderbirds.html it does include For you baby I would swim the sea but no reference to any mountains only climbing the Empire State Building Come on Sarah/Beth tell us if it is the poem I found "to you" or Watchman Al's mythical J.G.Snagglesworth or Oma's Love Song ------------------ My Gordon Lightfoot webring starts at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot |
Foreigner, but FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME (not Hot Blooded): "I would climb any mountain, sail across a stormy sea..."
|
Watchman, I have just dug out my J.G.Snaggleworth greatest flops album, (we aficionados know him as "The Great Snag")
And the lyric actually is 'I would tunnel thru the highest mountain, I would drink the seven seas' A fine wordsmith. |
Very Good Restless that is more like it
But it might just as well have been the following well known song Climb ev'ry mountain Ford every stream which is actually part of the lyrics of Climb Every Mountain by Christina Aguilera (sic-very sick) that is according to this site:- http://www.letssingit.com/christina-...n-98qn5kg.html And Gerald Desert:- You should get out more and buy some newer records!! And where are the appreciative responses by Sarah a.k.a. Beth??? ------------------ My Gordon Lightfoot webring starts at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot |
The estates of Rodgers and Hammerstein should sue. Sheesh.
|
You're quite right. The person who asks the original question only rarely will respond with a heartfelt well done.
Bill http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif |
Thats right it was feels like the first time and not HotBlooded! Oh well I was half right.
------------------ Ever Onward... |
Sure it's not,"Everything Is Beautiful?" http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
