The emerald trees dance And the rivers run free The mighty stag follows Watching over me These scars on my back Are an ache long subdued It's the memories that haunt Of a land I once knew Somewhere over the mountains There's a place I called my own Somewhere over the mountains There's a land I once called home ♪ Far have I gone Many lands I have seen Too many to count are The places I've been No sight can contend with The steadfast oak tree That welcomes me home To the land of the free Somewhere over the mountains There's a place I called my own Somewhere over the mountains There's a land I once called home We are the forgotten We are the forlorn The ones who have bled The ones who have been scorned But here me my sisters Listen O Brothers One day I'll find a way back to each other I promise I'll find a way back to each other Somewhere over the mountains There's a place I called my own Somewhere over the mountains There's a land I once called home There's a land I once called home There's a land I once called home
