All across the land,
I searched for her,
Looking for the spark,
Which made her glow.

Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.

We had known each other,
One before while in heaven,
And then we were born into this life,
And since then we have longed to be together.

Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.

Its hard to fight the tears,
Tears of rage at being away,
The separation from her is my passion,
Because it makes me always long to be with her.

Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.

Some seem happy,
They have found what t hey want,
But for me I have found it and cannot have it,
Not yet at least but I will be with her soon enough.

Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.

When we met,
It was meant to be,
We both were taken by each other,
And then I realized this love at first sight was true.

Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day.

I had found her,
The girl I had been with,
When I was a free spirit,
Living in the world of heaven.

Over the hills and far away,
She prayed I would return one day,
And as sure as the rivers reach the sea,
Tonight in her arms is where I’ll be.
