There Is A Mountain Lyrics

Cover art for There Is A Mountain lyrics by Donovan

First there is a mountain: I know everything! Then there is no mountain: Holy crap, I don't know anything. Then there is: Of course I don't know anything. That means the whole world is open to me, doesn't it?

The caterpillar turning to a butterfly is a metaphor for enlightenment. This is a deeply spiritual song disguised as a little ditty.
