Coming of Age Lyrics by Joseph Schwantner

Wild Angels of the Open Hills

0

Upon the high hills where the falcons nest:
The empty tower and my kingdom
O my castle, my fortress, towers
Fallen, a year you have stood empty
And I must rebuild you
Stone by stone
But my hands are empty
Beyond the castle towers lay the hills
Folded and forest-darkened
Or round and covered with dry grass
And we come here to the heart of the pain
Having reached the heart of peace
One wild-oats stalk on an empty sky
Elegant, fragile, painful, and fulfilled
