I am a child in these hills

I am away

I am alone

I am a child in these hills

And looking for water

And looking for life



Who will show me the river and ask my name?

Is there nobody here who'll do that?



Well I have come to these hills

I will come to the river

As I choose to be gone from the house of my father



I am a child in these hills

I am a child



Chased from the gates of the city where no one had touched me

I am away

I am alone

I am a child in these hills

And looking for water

And looking for life



Who will show me the river and ask me my name?

Is there nobody here who'll do that?



Well I have come to these hills

I will come to the river

As I choose to be gone from the house of my father



I am a child in these hills

I am a child

I am a child

I am a child
