A long time ago
I would walk up a hill
The world was soft and still
But my heart cried, my heart cried

Looking for miles and miles
Over roofs where strangers sleep
A burning grows inside
For a world that cries, for a world that cries

A long time ago
Before the sun came up
I would pick flowers
For a girl that cried, a girl that cried

But the only thing that’s same today
Is God who wiped those tears away
He came through as He always would
Upon the hill with me He stood

And I know He moves at the sound of my voice
I know He moves through me
I know He hears the love in my cry
And answers me
