lyrics

“Atop the Hill”
Words and Music by Karen Ballew

Atop the hill lookin’ down through the trees
My heart sings joyfully
Sunlight gleams on the greenest leaves
I long to see you here

CHORUS
Sweet bird song
Rustling leaves
And the babbling brook below

Flashing lights glint here and there
Just at the close of day
Children laugh, the fireflies twirl,
I wish that you were here

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Dogwood, pine, and maple sway
Bluebird, finch, and sparrow say
Taste and see the beauty here
Let your heart be of good cheer


The moon it casts a silvery light
The crickets sing their tune
Far off lamps and twinkling stars
I know that you are here

CHORUS (2X)
