I hear a bird chirping, up in the sky I'd like to be free like that spread my wings so high I see the river flowing water running by I'd like to be that river see what I might find I feel the wind a'blowing slowly changing time I'd like to be that wind I'd swirl and shape the sky I smell the flowers blooming opening for spring I'd like to be those flowers open to everything I feel the season change the leaves, the snow, and sun I'd like to be those seasons made up and undone I taste the living earth the seeds that grow within I'd like to be that earth a home where life begins I see the moon a'rising reaching into night I'd like to be that moon a knowing, glowing light I know the silence as the world begins to wake I'd like to be that silence as the morning breaks
