SUMMER/ SPRING

Silently the morning mist is lying on the water,
Captive moonlight waiting for the dawn.   
Softly like a baby’s breath, a breeze begins to whisper,
The sun is coming, quick, you must be gone.

Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing,
The promise of another sunny day. 
And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine,
I do believe that summer’s here to stay.

And do you care what’s happening around you? 
Do your senses know the changes when they come?   
Do you see yourself reflected in the seasons?
Can you understand the need to carry on?

Open up your eyes and see a brand new day,
A clear blue sky and brightly shining sun.
Open up your ears and hear the breezes say,
Ev’rything that’s cold and gray is gone. 

Open up your hands and feel the rain come on down,
Taste the wind and smell the flower’s sweet perfume.    
Open up your mind and let the light shine in,
The earth has been reborn and life goes on.

And oh, I love the life within me.  I feel apart of ev’rything I see
And oh, I love the life around me, a part of ev’rything is here in me.

Riding on a tapestry of all there is to see,
So many ways and oh so many things.
Rejoicing in the diff’rences there’s no one just like me,
Yet as diff’rent as we are we’re still the same. 

And oh, I love the life within me.  I feel apart of ev’rything I see
And oh, I love the life around me, a part of ev’rything is here in me.
A part of ev’rything is here in me, a part of ev’rything is here in me.
A part of ev’rything is here in me.
