Shinerra Ward 1975 (Tennessee)

I've seen the mountain top.                                      But I dare to tell you.                                       
Climbed  long ways of hard knocks as vines wreathed my feet.                                                   
But I  dare not tell you.  cried to the Lord to let me win my race. I've seen the mountain top.  Cheers of laughter accommodate the crowd.  Just one more round.
