Seven Hillsides

Ricky Skaggs

Composición de: Naoise Sheridan/Walt Wilkins
All night I've wrestled Jacob's angels 
And prayed with Matthew, Luke and John 
Struggling to find the words to face the task 
That comes upon the blood red dawn. 

I've buried men before their time 
Of alcohol and blackened lung 
But how to bury seven of these 
Appalachian miners sons. 
Who stormed the beaches wave on wave, 
And sailed home to these rocky graves 
In family plots that bared their names. 

Chorus: 
Tomorrow I'll walk up, seven hillsides 
Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides 
Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and every one 
Will turn to me for the word of God, what does this mean? 
And there I'll stand good book in hand, 
A shepherd to these precious lambs 
What will I say, what will I say, what can I say? 

To tell the truth I'd never thought much 
About the will of God before. 
Called to preach at seventeen 
I was in love with fiery words and not much more. 

The time has come to keep the faith 
For others shattered by their loss. 
Remind them of the loving God 
Whose son like theirs paid the cost. 
To save a sad and wicked world 
Through sacrifice our love is heard 
And pray that I believe those words. 

Chorus: 
Tomorrow I'll walk up, seven hillsides 
Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides 
Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and every one 
Will turn to me for the word of God, what does this mean?...
