Lyrics

A Child In These Hills

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am a child in these hills

I am away

I am alone

I am a child in these hills

And looking for water

And looking for life

Who will show me the river and ask my name?

Is there nobody here who'll do that?

Well i have come to these hills

I will come to the river

As i choose to be gone from the house of my father

I am a child in these hills

I am a child

Chased from the gates of the city where no one had touched me

I am away

I am alone

I am a child in these hills

And looking for water

And looking for life

Who will show me the river and ask me my name?

Is there nobody here who'll do that?

Well i have come to these hills

I will come to the river

As i choose to be gone from the house of my father

I am a child in these hills

I am a child

I am a child

I am a child
