Over a thousand mountains You shall flee from joy and sorrow, Over many thousands of mountains, For your eternity. Smiling, full of blessed pain For those who walk below, Who will never understand the avian joy Of our adventurous hearts. Over a thousand mountains You shall flee from joy and sorrow, Over many thousands of mountains, For your eternity.
