1. There and back again
When last I looked upon the Hill
Breathing the spring's fresh air
I shivered for the morning's chill
But still that day was fair
When last I looked into the brook
Sweating for summer's heat
Onto the surface I have looked
Where merry fishes meet
When last I looked upon the road
To say farewell at last
Heaving my burden, heavy load
And watch the trees go past
When now I see the way before
Darkness engulfing all
I quail, I falter more and more
But still I shall not fall.
When now I see that mountain strong
My breath it takes away
The road is gloomy, strenuous, long
How long I keep up I can't say
When now I feel you touch my hand
I know that I am safe
For even in so dark a land
You will clear any haze
When now I look into your eyes
I see hope shines there still
I know beyond the shadow lies
A road to take us home
Where on the Hill we'll stand again
And breathe the morning's chill
