He came rolling through the hills just to be with me
And I was young and I was pretty and I was free
It was before the time that I knew that I
Could make the rainclouds form in my spirit's sky
It was before the time that what I wanted had to be
Tied to this old world and all its slavery
And life was like a dream
And everything was clean
And I was free.
Sometimes I wish that everything could've just ended there
That my body and my soul had been just caught up in the air
I'd have gone back to Him who's shining everywhere
I would've drunk in all his water, and breathed in all his air
But I chose to eat my fruit and I chose to go my way
And I chose to throw my innocence away
And I've learned my lessons hard and I've learned my lessons well
And I have tasted all I care to taste of hell
I think I'm ready to return, to let the fires I started burn
I think I'm ready to be born again
I think I'm ready to return, to let the fires I started burn
I think I'm ready to be born again.
I'm gonna come rolling through the hills just to be with you
You'll make me young and pretty again, You'll make me free
And this time 'round, 'stead of trying to stand I've decided to lean,
And let You wash me in Your blood, and make me clean
Oh, and living out Your dream
Everything is clean
And I've become free
