Cette chanson évoque une lutte pour la survie et l'espoir dans des moments désespérés. L’histoire se déroule autour d'un jeune enfant malade dont la vie est en jeu. Ses parents, confrontés à la difficulté de nourrir leur famille, cherchent désespérément une solution. La mère, en larmes, embrasse son enfant et se rend compte qu'il existe peut-être une aide de l'autre côté de la montagne, une chance de sauver son fils. Le récit prend une tournure émotive alors que l’enfant, devenu adulte, retourne sur la montagne où repose sa mère pour lui exprimer sa gratitude. Cette visite symbolise non seulement un hommage, mais aussi un rappel de la foi et de l'espoir que sa mère a nourris dans les moments les plus durs.
