Brightness on the Hills
©2008 Adrienne Shamszad

I saw you first in the garden
A smile wide across your face
It was so early in the morning
The amber sunlight
Burned through the pale sky
And set my world ablaze

Faded still is my memory
Of the home that I first knew
I’ve been traveling so long baby
I am a pilgrim searching for freedom
Stranger to everyone but you

They keep telling me to hold on
To my crazy roaming heart
But I say there will be brightness
There will be brightness on the Hills
And we will be together
We will be One forever
Never to part

Tonight I give myself to you like it’s the first time
And folks can see right through the broken blinds
But you don’t care so neither do I

They keep telling me to hold on
To this roaming heart of mine
I still pray for peace on earth
And for peace of mind

People keep telling me to hold on
To my roaming heart
I say there will be brightness
There will be brightness on the Hills
And we will be together
We will be One forever
Never to part

There will be brightness
There will be brightness
There will be brightness on the Hills
