(Jane Siberry)
|
I live in the hills
|
You live in the valleys
|
And all that you know are those blackbirds
|
You rise every morning
|
Wondering what in the world will the world bring today
|
Will it bring you joy or will it take it away
|
And every step you take is guided by
|
The love of the light on the land and the blackbird's cry
|
You will walk in good company
|
The valley is dark
|
The burgeoning holding
|
The stillness obscured by their judging
|
You walk through the shadows
|
Uncertain and surely hurting
|
Deserted by the blackbirds and the staccato of the staff
|
And though you trust the light towards which you wend your way
|
Sometimes you feel all that you wanted has been taken away
|
You will walk in good company
|
I love the best of you
|
You love the best of me
|
Though it is not always easy
|
Lovely? lovely?
|
We will walk in good company
|
The shepherd upright and flowing
|
You see...
|
