  • The hills are alive with the sound of music
    With songs they have sung for a thousand years
    The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
    My heart wants to sing every song it hears

    My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
    That rise 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 who is learning to pray

    I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
    I know I will hear what I've heard before
    My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
    And I'll sing once more Writer/s: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
