Bird Song

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 seasons change: the leaves, the snow and the 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 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'd like to be those flowers, open to everything
