Song Competition

My song 'A Hill So High' won second prize in the Maidenhead Folk Club Song Competition 2005. This song is about Wilmington Man, an iron age hill figure carved in chalk on a hillside near Brighton. 

Lyrics to 'A Hill So High';                     A Hill So High
  

I am the man whose giant shape is carved upon an English hill so high
I am the man who left his mark upon this land
I am the man who stood the test of time, two thousand years have passed me by
And here I stand, I am the man

Chorus;
	I felled the trees to clear these fields
	With pastures green for sheep and cow
	To sow my seed the ground I tilled
	I worked this land with ox and plough
	

I am the man who took up arms to drive invaders from this sacred isle
I am the man who spilled their blood upon this land
I am the man who fought with wolf and bear to save the lamb and spare the child
And here I stand, I am the man

Chorus

I am the man who worshipped ancient gods before you came with cross and church
I am the man who found his faith was in this land
I am the man who built great monuments to sun and moon and mother earth
And here I stand, I am the man

Chorus

But now  I'm just a symbol of a way of life that used to be 
I am the man who stands alone here in this land
And to you passing by my being here is just a mystery
But here I stand, I am the man

Chorus
