A High Mountain Beginning
Verse 1
In the silver dawn of freezing air,
Cold wind combs the grasslands there.
Soft feet wander where condors glide,
Little alpacas cross the countryside.
Before the roads and village lights,
Before the maps and trading routes,
A humming choir beneath the sky,
Woolly shadows drifting by.
Pre-Chorus
Four-legged clouds grazing slow,
Quiet heartbeats braving snow.
Chorus (Children’s Hook)
Alpaca, alpaca, fluffy and slow,
Alpaca, alpaca, where do you go?
Clip-clop, clip-clop over the hill,
Soft little walker wandering still.
Hey! Alpaca! Soft as snow!
Hey! Alpaca! Off you go!
Hey! Alpaca! Don’t be slow!
Fluffy friend in the mountain glow!
⸻
Verse 2 – The First Keepers
Hands of stone and woven thread,
Ancient villages softly said,
“Stay with us, friend of frost and sun,
Your warmth will shelter everyone.”
Temple smoke and mountain fairs,
Spinning wheels and braided hair,
Fleeces turning winter’s shield
From valley town to highland field.
Pre-Chorus
Hoofprints pressed in dusty clay,
History walking day by day.
Chorus (Children’s Hook)
Alpaca, alpaca, fluffy and slow,
Alpaca, alpaca, where do you go?
Clip-clop, clip-clop over the hill,
Soft little walker wandering still.
Hey! Alpaca! Soft as snow!
Hey! Alpaca! Off you go!
Hey! Alpaca! Don’t be slow!
Fluffy friend in the mountain glow!
⸻
Verse 3
Ships and stories crossed the sea,
Bringing forth quiet company.
Pastures blooming on distant lands,
Soft fleeces drifting through careful hands.
Children laugh at curious stares,
Morning mist in meadow air,
Still you wander calm and slow
Wherever green grasses grow.
⸻
Bridge
Watching empires rise and fall,
Watching the seasons call.
No throne to guard, no crown to wear,
Just mountain wind and woolly hair.
⸻
Final Chorus (Big Singalong)
Alpaca, alpaca, fluffy and slow,
Alpaca, alpaca, where do you go?
Clip-clop, clip-clop over the hill,
Soft little walker wandering still.
Hey! Alpaca! Soft as snow!
Hey! Alpaca! Off you go!
Hey! Alpaca! Don’t be slow!
Fluffy friend in the mountain glow!
