A
Balanced on the mountain 
D
With the people all around 
E
Who say that I've been up too long 
C#m                       E
And they want to bring me down 
A
Well I wouldn't mind the falling...no 
D
It's the ones who come to see 
E
If all I've got left inside 
C#m                A
Is a little bit of me 

Won't you hold my hand now 
Hold my hand tight 
Hold lightly in the day 
And hold harder at night 
Well I don't mind the coming down 
It's the way it's got to be 
What I hope I got left inside 
Is a little bit of me 

Now when it is all over 
And I become a seed 
They'll plant me in the universe 
Where the balance gotta be 
Now I don't mind the dyin', no. 
It's the way it's got to be 
But I hope I leave behind 
Just a little bit of me 
A little bit of me 

Balanced on my mountain 
With the people all around 
Who say that I've been up too long 
And they want to bring me down 
I don't mind the coming down 
It's the way it's gotta be 
What I hope I got left inside 
Is a little bit of me

Hope I got something left for me 
Hope I got something left for me 
Hope I got something left for me
