The Sound of Music

My day in the hills
Has come to an end, I know
A star has come out
To tell me it's time to go
But deep in the dark green shadows
Are voices that urge me to stay
So I pause, and I wait, and I listen
For one more sound
For one more lovely thing that the hills might say

The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music

My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees

My heart wants to sigh like a chime
That flies from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips

And falls over stones in its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more-
