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
