My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that fly from the lake 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 To sing through the night like a lark that is learning to pray I go to the hills when my heart is lonely I know I will hear what I heard before My heart will be blessed with the sound of music And I’ll sing once more ---
