First Hymn from Grand Terrace

There was a hill we climbed and a nursery rhyme

Went flying across the waving grass

Like, like silver bells

Against the curtain that the sky had made

Ooooh, and so we played

It was a sunny day, and so we lay

Beneath the rock that sheltered us

From passing planes.

And the earth caught fire when you turned

But nothing burned

There were nights when

The lights would take us nowhere

For just a little while

Cars would pass, and we were out of gas

But we didn't care

Even though we walked a mile

There was a deejay in L.A.

We used to tune in at night

To hear our favorite song

We always heard it at that perfect time

Up on that hill we climbed.

And now you're gone and I'm alone

And though they say I should be

Safe, secure, and sane

Oh, I still remember yesterday,

And the games that children play
