[Lyrics for Denali Gillaspie – The Hill]
The children have grown, theyve gone beyond and over
the hill
No one thinks theyre coming back, but I know they
will.
Thirty-eight years, theyve been away now,
When they come home theyll have looks to kill.
But knowledge to save the next generation from fallin
in the well.
Theyll stay afloat with love and patience, laughter
and hope
And music to dance with- hell, you can dance all you
want to.
Cause Im not young, Ill never be old.
A hundred beads put on her string for each year shes
been living, yea.
Its asleep in her hand, along with her wedding ring
and her will.
She throws it behind her, and strips down til theres
nothing left
But the freckled skin she was born in,
She takes off running, to come sing with me
On the other side of the hill.
Cause Im not young, Ill never be old.
(Musical interlude)
The children have grown, theyve gone beyond and over
the hill
No one thinks theyre coming back, but I know they
will.
Thirty-eight years, theyve been away now,
When they come home theyll have looks to kill.
But knowledge to save the next generation from fallin
in the well.
Theyll stay afloat with love and patience, laughter
and hope
And music to dance to- hell, you can dance all you want
to.
Cause Im not young, Ill never be old.
