tapping fingers drumming time on the wooden window frame/i’ll never be the same that i was on that day/maybe it was shaking houses built down by the tracks/but those days were changing and this time they won’t go back/i don’t remember time or why i kept finding those hills/but whispers from them shook the earth if i can hear her still/build a dam and chain it down and try to hold your own/but that river is coming for you standing alone//chorus//and she said rogue is rolling along/oh catch the train from north hills when you’re gone//took some time to find out what it means/buried deep held by the ground let the roots in shackles free/holding on for so damn long the fight is done/i thought i lost all i wanted but when the war was won//chorus repeat//althea spoke to me i don’t know how it brought me here/with a fire in my heart where the north hills hold ‘ōhi’a/where the north hills hold ‘ōhi’a/well it was where i stood and staring at my hands/north hills and my soul to start again/if an old tree can still grow strong/ i looked up and voices gone//chorus//althea spoke to me i don’t know how it brought me here/with a fire in my heart where the north hills hold ‘ōhi’a//
