The green hills overtake my sight
A wonder to escape
To life in its roots
A world of wondrous wishes
A view to fulfill fantasies
The time for eternity is gone
And silence fills the air
Blue, green and ever going
Air light on my skin
The chills are in my mind
Yet they’re far away from thought
I want to stay
This path will bring me home
Where I belong is here and now
The land where I grew up
And wish to be
