Upon the green hillside,
where the wild heather grows,
the lark greets the morning,
the soft west wind blows.
I cast off my burdens,
no chain holds on me,
I walk with the wildwood
where rivers run free.
Oh, sing with the mountains, oh, dance with the sea,
my heart is unbroken, my spirit runs free.
No crown and no kingdom shall ever bind me,
for I live with the Earth where the rivers run free.
The oak is my shelter,
the stars are my guide,
the wolf and the willow,
they walk by my side.
No gold and no silver
can measure the key,
To the song of the hills,
where the rivers run free.
Oh, sing with the mountains, oh, dance with the sea,
my heart is unbroken, my spirit runs free.
No crown and no kingdom shall ever bind me,
For I live with the Earth where the rivers run free.
The storm may come raging,
the night may grow cold,
But the fire in the valley
burns brighter than gold.
I’ll carry no master,
I’ll bend to no plea,
For freedom is mine
where the rivers run free.
Oh, sing with the mountains, oh, dance with the sea,
my heart is unbroken, my spirit runs free.
Till the end of all ages, my soul’s destiny
to live and to love where the rivers run free.
