I don't think it's on YouTube. But here u go: http://download.yousendit.com/43ED7EAA3AE4DF89
I love the way Perry sings this in that husky incredibly powerful voice that he perfected for this album. I don't know if he ever performed it live but that is something I would die to have. It is a wonderful song. It's on the remastered Frontiers & also on Time3, btw.
Here are the lyrics so u can see how SA messed them up (which he did on oh so many songs). Sorry but SA's versions of some of these precious songs really bothers me. I'm a loon. I can't help it.
See the mountains
With my lady
As the eagle
In the golden sky
Towers over purple majesty
In the mountains
Lives a freedom
There's a river
You can hear it say
From the delta flows the Liberty
As the twilight of evening is broken
Lace and silver in starlight unfoldin'
Round and round in a wave of emotion
Words of love sometimes better unspoken
Nothing equals a sea of devotion
Ooh desire sets the wheels into motion
We all agree
We live to be free
They can't tell us
They can't tell us
How to be
We
We all agree
That you individually
We the people
Share the power
Hold the key
