Ten thousand miles even though I roam

I can hear the call of the hills of home

The canyons high and the valleys low

Echo "How can you stay away"



My dreams are there where the eagle flies

Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky

The winding streams and the winds that blow

Ask me "How can you stay away"



Far too long have I stayed apart

From this land that I love and divide my heart

Now, now I know I must go

Where the hills say "Don't stay away"

Where the hills say "Don't stay away
