Long still my heart’s been a-wandering

Over mountain and river and glen

Uncertain as to just where I will go

Much less to the whys and the when

I hope when I get there I’ll know

That I’ve found what I’ve searched for so long,

Burning inside with desire

To find my heart’s one true song

To sing in exuberance with the birds

As they cry out their joy from the trees

To dance to their free melodic tune

As it floats to the sky on the breeze

There, in that place beyond my dreams

My heart will find its true rest

Gazing about with wonder and awe,

It will fall silent within my chest.
