The Sound of Music
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 the chimes that fly
From the church on a breeze.
To laugh like a brook
When it trips and falls over stones on 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 Ive heard before.
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music,
And Ill sing
Once more.
