Jackson Browne - A Child in These Hills lyrics

I am away

I am alone

I am a child in these hills

And looking for water

And looking for life

Oh, well show me the river and ask my name

Is there nobody here who'll do that?

Well I have come to these hills

I will come to the river

As I choose to be gone form the house of my father

I am a child in these hills

I am a child

Chased from the gates of the city where no one had touched me

I am away

I am alone

I am a child in these hills

And looking for water

And looking for life

Oh, well show me the river and ask me my name

Is there nobody here who'll do that?

Well I have come to these hills

I will come to the river

As I choose to be gone from the house of my father

I am a child in these hills

I am a child

I am a child

I am a child
