lyrics

I climbed a mountain and I wrote my name in a book
I wandered every which way in the nighttime
I heard Mozart where Mozart first played,
And I started a revolution

I saw the ground where the faithful before me fell,
Rested my head on a rock in a cave in the woods
Where I went looking for You

I sang aloud for the glory of the Son
Where His mother had come to say "hello"
And then I saw where Your holy water falls

I felt the bullets in the broken walls
I spoke to St. Peter and he spoke back
I stood on top of the dust of the throne of a king,
Oh, oh....

You were the first One
You were the last One
You were the only One I wanted to find

I waited for You
I looked everywhere
You were the only One I wanted to find

I saw the cell where Max showed his enemies love
I walked the tracks leading to the innocents’ grave
I prayed that mercy would flood every heart of man

I took a bus all the way across El Pais,
A cable car to a city up on a hill
I rode a train to the five lands along the coast,
Oh, oh….

I fell down on my knees to walk up Your steps
I saw Your crib and the beds where the children slept,
And the hole that the devil left when he fled
Oh, oh….

You were the first One
You were the last One
You were the only One I wanted to find

I waited for You
I looked everywhere
You were the only One I wanted to find

You were the first One
You were the last One
You were the only One I wanted to find

I waited for You
I looked everywhere
You were the only One I wanted to find

And now I know I can’t compare
Finding God in Austria
No, I know I won’t forget
Finding God in Austria, God in Austria
Oh, oh….

You were the first One
You were the last One
You were the only One I wanted to find

I waited for You
I looked everywhere
You were the only One I wanted to find
