When I’m low, I gotta climb up to the high ground
And look across the valley down below me
It puts me in my place, feeling small upon the hillside
My horizons are so wide and so far away
I’m a son of the hills, and I know myself by silence
At times it’s hard to find it, like I’m forgetting my own name
But then you remind me, there’s a reason I’m still trying
So I’m looking on the bright side
Where the sun is shining down on the hills
And when I’m there, and the sun has started setting
Your voice is full of questions, will you hear me?
That old look on your face, the lines there have been deepening
There’s things I’ve been keeping in, things I want to say
I’m coming down from the hills, well I’ve been keeping quiet
But I want to break the silence, and I know you want the same
Won’t you let me remind you, there’s a reason we’re still trying
I think I found where the sun's been shining down
On your son of the hills
