“In the Hills”

Verse 1:
JaQuan Sayres, can you hear our words?
Calling out forward past our ancestors
Millions of years, feel it in the Earth, feel it in the air as it’s blowing through my air.
For ten years, people fear it.
See me sitting on the hill wondering
Staring out to the sky, peep the constellations staring out to the sky
See the dark matter forming in my mind
Got to be peaceful, I’ve got to be peaceful, Got to be peaceful
While I’m sitting on the windside of a hill,
Table mountain flowers producing in the field.
Beauty this beauty is straight encompassing my soul,
Then it goes…
Chorus:
Ya-da-da-da-da in the hills, ya-da-da-da-da in the hills,
Ya-da-da-da-da in the hills, in these hills, in the hills.
Ya-da-da-da-da in the hills, ya-da-da-da-da in these hills,
Ya-da-da-da-da in these hills, ya-da-da-da-da in these hills, in these hills.
Verse 2:
Open up yourself to possibility
Understand how all these things are vibing
Just like you and me, just like you and me
And every day man there’s all these people striving, driving, even crying
Just to get you what you need, get you what you need.
In this very moment, there’s someone out there dying.
Man, they’re dying, as another baby screams.
But they just go -
Outro:
Ya-da-da-da-da in the hills, ya-da-da-da-da in these hills,
Open up yourself to possibility,
Understand how all these things are vibing.
Ya-da-da-da-da in the hills, ya-da-da-da-da in the hills,
Life is like a tree, branching through the seams,
Branching through the seams,
Branching, branching through the seams.
