(GUITAR INTRO)
|
|
I heard a song that was taught to a baby
|
|
and it made the mountain sing
|
|
I knew a gift that was given to my lady
|
|
it was hidden in a dream
|
|
|
|
and there's a light in the lowlands
|
|
and a river that runs so clean
|
|
I'm a poor man feelin' lazy
|
|
and the lowlands are callin' my name
|
|
|
|
(hymnal-like chant)
|
|
|
|
I knew a man who said he was a stranger
|
|
'cause his heart he could not trust
|
|
I knew a man who could not face the dangers
|
|
even though he knew he must
|
|
|
|
and it's hard in the lowlands
|
|
and the grasses will turn to rust
|
|
but the sun is a fountain
|
|
flowing through the lowland's dust
|
