Over the Hills and Over the Plain (Revised)
Over the Hills and over the Plain
I remember the times of being free,
My wee back legs would carry me,
Over the hills and over the plain,
Oh, I wish I could have those times again.
For my wee back legs, they went downhill,
And oh it was such a bitter pill,
Over the hills and over the plain,
Would I ever walk again?
Pram rides with mummy were such a joy,
I really am her special boy,
Yet over the hills and over the plain,
I still wanted to walk again.
Now I am happy, joyful and free,
Because the Lord looks after me,
Over the hills and over the plain,
Free once more to walk again.
Free once more to walk again.
Free once more to run again.
