Prelude / The Sound Of Music

The hills are alive
with the sound of music
With songs they have sung
for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart
with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat
like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees

My heart wants to sigh like a chime
That flies from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips

And falls over stones on its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I heard before
My heart will be blessed
with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
