I want to climb the hillsides <br />And to see each wondrous view, <br />And find the peace I long for there <br />It's all I wish to do, <br />I want to walk down winding lanes <br />And to see the lands of green, <br />And to smell the pretty flowers there <br />And breathe the air so clean. <br />I just want to change my world <br />I need a brand new start, <br />And leave the strife of city life <br />A country boy at heart. <br /> <br />I want to cross the meadows <br />And to see the woodlands grow, <br />I want to find serenity <br />Wherever I do go, <br />I long to see the rivers <br />And the gently flowing streams, <br />Which sparkle in the sunlight there <br />Within a place of dreams. <br />I just want to change my world <br />I need a brand new start, <br />And leave the strife of city life <br />A country boy at heart. <br /> <br />I want to see the wheat that blows <br />Within the fields of gold, <br />I want to find the freedom <br />And the treasures there untold, <br />I want to hear the birdsongs <br />In early morning skies, <br />And to witness every sunset <br />And to watch each dawning rise. <br />I just want to change my world <br />I need a brand new start, <br />And leave the strife of city life <br />A country boy at heart.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-country-boy-at-heart/
