Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I dreamed myself from the sultry plains to the old green square back in old Maybole Rode the wind up to Stornaway paused at the peak, pacified my soul Caught the bus at the faery fort made it to the mansion on the Boyne See I come around to the ancient ways I took a tip from the buddha boy I just found god I just found god I just found god where he always was We came down from the hill of dreams Bernadette, mother earth and you and me through Carraroe, down the wildwood side blinding out eyes in the shallow seas Drank fire with the King of the Blues, plugged in to the medicine way Took a long last look at Crazy Horse push now for a golden age I just found god I just found god I just found god where he always was I found myself on the roof of the world just waiting for to get my wings Strange angel in the changing light said ";Brother, you forgot something!"; My heart beat from the inside out so lucky just to be alive! Can you tell what I'm talking about? any day now the Sun's gonna rise I just found god I just found god I just found god where he always was I just found god where he always was There is a green hill far away I'm going back there one fine day
