In the spring of 1856with the snow still on the ground |
| [00:21.56] |
Two little boys were lost in the mountains above the town |
| [00:29.89] |
The father went out hunting the boys had stayed behind |
| [00:37.82] |
While mother tended to her chores they wandered from her side. |
| [00:55.58] |
The two had gone to follow him and lost their way instead |
| [01:03.21] |
By dusk the boys had not been found and fear had turned to dread |
| [01:11.32] |
Two-hundred men had gathered there to comb the mountain side |
| [01:19.11] |
The fires were built on the highest peak in hopes they'd see the light. |
| [01:27.43] |
Oh,mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries |
| [01:34.06] |
The day is almost over,soon it will be night |
| [01:41.90] |
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore |
| [01:49.86] |
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door. |
| [02:07.88] |
Now Jacob Diverd woke one night from a strange and erie dream |
| [02:15.80] |
He saw a path between two hills near a dark and swollen stream |
| [02:23.72] |
He told his wife he saw the boys huddled close beside a log |
| [02:31.57] |
For two more nights the dream returned this vision sent from God. |
| [02:40.01] |
Oh,mommy and daddy why can't you hear our cries |
| [02:46.82] |
The day is almost over,soon it will be night |
| [02:54.62] |
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are tired and sore |
| [03:02.25] |
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door. |
| [03:33.31] |
A thousand men had searched in vain the west side of pop's creek |
| [03:40.97] |
But Jacob's wife knew of this place and said to travel east |
| [03:49.14] |
With a guide to take him there,Jacob came upon the scene |
| [03:57.13] |
And found the boys cold and still beneath the old birch tree. |
| [04:03.01] |
Oh,mommy and daddy,look past the tears you cry |
| [04:12.00] |
We're both up in Heaven now,God is by our side |
| [04:20.31] |
As you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord |
| [04:28.33] |
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door. |
| [04:36.21] |
Oh,mommy and daddy,look past the tears you cry |
| [04:43.06] |
We're both up in Heaven now,God is by our side |
| [04:50.97] |
And as you lay us down to rest in the presence of the Lord |
| [04:59.30] |
Know that we will meet you here at Heaven's door... |
