Purple Hills

I waited for the purple hills in spring

Ten year old dreamers find it hard to wait for things

When the world was colored in, my soles would rhyme

And a thousand purple flowers danced in time

While others moved in straight lines, mine would bend

I marched to my own drum and I lived on let's pretend

But different can be lonely to a child

I envied purple flowers grew wild

So here's to all the ones who don't fit in

The drifters and the dreamers give the world their own spin

If we stand out in the crowd then where's the shame?

All the darkness in the world won't hide a single burning flame

And here's to purple hills and my salvation Jane

Wishes float like feathers in the air

And secrets only whispered must still be flying there

Butterflies and rainbows knew me well

And must have kept a promise not to tell

Now time may have a way of healing all

A heart can still remember but years can ease the fall

The brave can let the memories unfold

Make stepping stones of all the aches of old

So here's to all the ones who don't fit in

The drifters and the dreamers give the world their own spin

If we stand out in the crowd then where's the shame?

All the darkness in the world won't hide a single burning flame

And here's to purple hills and my salvation Jane

Well there's a little person here who looks like me

A ten year old dreamer with his own philosophy

He's teaching me the magic's in me still

We close our eyes and visit purple hills

Purple hills

We visit purple hills
