Who Will Show Me The River And Ask Me My Name?

I am a child
in these hills.
I am away.
I am alone.
I am a child
in these hills,
and looking
for water,
and looking
for life.
Who will show me
the river
and ask me
my name?
Is there
nobody here
who will
do that?
--Jackson Browne
(from "A Child In These Hills")
