Lowlands

(GUITAR 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 gra*ses will turn to rust but the sun is a fountain flowing through the lowland's dust
