Lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein II
Music: Richard Rodgers
CHILDREN:
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
(Every song that is hears)
My heart wants to beat
Like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees (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 (on its way)
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to pray
CAPTAIN:
I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear
What I've heard before
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
