There was a little boy standing
with his little boy tears
and a broken heart.
The other kids said
“You don’t belong with us,
just stay away!”
He was crying all day long.
His whole world felt so wrong,
when somewhere from the mountain
he heard a friendly song:
(joik)
Ey-oh-loa, ey-oh-loa
Lift your heart, rise above,
and let the music guide you.
Ey-oh-loa, ey-oh-loa.
Spread your wings, shine your light
and let the music guide you.
The old man stood by the lonely tree
one rainy day.
The same place where they together
used to laugh and play.
Now with nobody else around,
there was no hope to be found.
When suddenly the tree would whisper
a familiar sound:
(Chorus)
