Jennings & Keller Lyrics

I Wanted To Be Maria Lyrics

She was the one so full of joy
She was the one who knew
If you danced on the hills and sang to the trees
They would answer you

And so I learned every tune
By age of six or maybe five
‘I am sixteen’, ‘Edelweiss’
And yes, ‘The Hills are Alive’

I wanted to be Maria
Like a million other girls
I wanted life to be a show tune
I’d sing from top of the world

Like her, I was a problem
They thought needed to be solved
But the nuns couldn’t see when I sang ‘do-re-me’
I found my heart and my love

I wanted to be Maria
Like a million other girls
I wanted life to be a show tune
I’d sing from top of the world

I could climb every mountain
I could fjord every stream
Me and Maria
We’d find my dream

I wanted to be Maria
Like a million other girls
I wanted life to be a show tune
I’d sing from top of the—

I wanted to be Maria
Like a million other girls
I wanted life to be a show tune
I’d sing from top of the world, the world
The hills are alive, the hills are alive
