(G
UITAR INTRO).
I heard a song that was taught to a baby.
and it made the mountain sing.
I knew a gift that was given to my lady.
it was hidden in a dream.
and there's a light in the lowlands.
and a river that runs so clean.
I'm a poor man feelin' lazy.
and the lowlands are callin' my name.
(hymnal-like chant).
I knew a man who said he was a stranger.
'cause his heart he could not trust.
I knew a man who could not face the dangers.
even though he knew he must.
and it's hard in the lowlands.
and the grasses will turn to rust.
but the sun is a fountain.
flowing through the lowland's dust
