Take me away to the wilds of the woods,
Make me free to love the soft green hills.
Mosey me down a stringy rocky stream,
Carry me to the end of this impossible dream.
Send my tears dripping to the heart of the storm,
Rend my ache from a soul trodden and worn.
Lift my press crushing each breath,
Pick my sorrow out from my breast.
Kiss the sunbeams before they rise each morn,
Bless each ship as it sails from it’s mooring.
Consent each trial as you test our faith,
Lament each sinner as his testimony is stayed.
Help me home in my hours of despair,
Delve me into kind and comforting care.
Soothe me softly to silent sleep,
Remove me to paradise where my laughter will keep.
