Over The Hills
Luciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where must I find a place to live
In this jungle created by mankind?
Where will I lay my weary head?
Tell me, how I'll find a peace of mind?

Some say earth a run red
Man and man must insure dem head
But I feel like running instead
And find me a place, I'll be free

I will take me over hills and that valley
Yes, I'll find me a place I'll be free
Yes, I'll take me far away from the city
Mother nature is calling me

So many year in starvation
And I can't find a thing to nyam
Sometimes I contemplate
And wonder what is wrong

Though I try so hard, I just can't get along
Man to man is unjust
And I don't know who to trust
Still I say living is a must
So I'll find me a place where I'll be free

I will take me over hills and that valley
Yes, I'll find me a place I'll be free
Yes, I'll take me far away from the city
Mother nature is calling me

Doing my best to serve mankind
To liberate the captivated mind
Still they don't seem to hear my call
So I won't linger and perish with them at all

Some say earth a run red
Man and man must insure them head
But I feel like running instead
And find me a place I'll be free

I will take me over hills and that valley
Yes, I'll find me a place I'll be free




Yes, I'll take me far away from the city
Mother nature is calling me
