O my soul, weary and restless / For so long,
far too long / O my voice, lost to the wilderness / With no song, far too long
/ Here in the shadows / We must stay/ Walk the gray road / This brutal terrain
/ Until the wind blows and sings / Until the sacred light brings us.
Chorus:
Home to the Hillside / The river, the sparrow-song / Sunrise in hues of
our wildest imagining / Home to the valley / The new rain, the lilies / The brightest
horizon we ever will see.
Now O my feet you
must carry me/ O'er this road these cruel stones / heart of mine, break not for
what you see / but be moved, moved to love.
Here in this barrenness / We survive / This fearful land / These terrible times
/ Until the clouds roll away / Until that beautiful day, dream us.
Chorus:
Home to the Hillside / The river, the sparrow-song / Sunrise in hues of
our wildest imagining / Home to the valley / The new rain, the lilies / The brightest
horizon we ever will see.
Hook:
Hope of me
bloom now / Among these thorns / Reach with your dying breath / To the sun / Soon
ends the bleakness of night / Soon you shall rise up and fly.
