as the spring is made alive the winter dies and the final cries of creatures are long behind and full of spirit the village starts again with one more year for a man to change his ways i used to feel all things around me stir grateful for all i received taking in the sounds and ways of creatures upon the earth great were the rivers i swam waiting out the sun as the winter dies the earth is brought to life and a thousand merchant ships sail to find a worthy village to land and start again with one more year for a man to change his ways i used to feel all things around me stir grateful for all i received taking in the sounds and ways of creatures upon the earth great were the rivers i swam waiting out the sun i used to feel all things around me stir id hear the sounds of creatures upon the earth grateful for all i received through winter cold and spring2
