In the Hills of California

In the Hills of California I journey out in the clean crisp air To hike for miles in the place where I leave my worries and despair In the hills of California     In peaceful calm I restore My sanity and love for life once more If this is heaven I found the door In the hills of California     Lured by beauty I'm drawn so high Peaks pierce cloud studded deep blue sky Wishing that I could some how fly In the hills of California     Intoxicated by the beauty of it all My footing slips I begin to fall Rolling, bouncing like a ball In the hills of California     Body broken lying prone Wet with blood, protruding bone Wishing  I was not alone In the hills of California In my pain, so extreme I hear the loud pitch of my scream Hoping that its all a dream In the hills of California      Circling high at first just one Two, then three and more to come Wings spread wide against the sun In the hills of California      Beady eyes on blood red face Circling lower, they crowd my space I'm the meal, I pray for grace In the hills of California     In the distance I hear the cries Wolves or coyotes no surprise Dinner time and I'm the prize In the hills of California     Come and get it don't delay Eat this pain I feel away An all you can eat human buffet In the hills of California     Clean my bones but leave my soul So I can stay where the cool winds blow In the beauty I love and know In the hills of California
