A song.

[Verse 1:]

Listen to the trees,
singing to you and me,
Breathe in the summer air,
We’ll go lie over there,
Let the sun kiss our faces,
Imagine we’re in different places,
Let’s close our eyes,
Soaring through the skies.

[chorus:]

Dig way down to the roots,
of your soul, beneath this tree,
Reach out to touch the clouds,
Dance in the breeze,
Cause this Earth spins round and round,
Sometimes we need to slow it down,
And rediscover, what it means,
to be.

[verse: 2]

As the grass greens,
and the seasons leave,
the bark crumbles,
and the thunder rumbles,
we’ll stand still in time,
with the Earth in her prime.
We’ve been gone far too long,
stop and listen to her song.

Dig way down to the roots,
of your soul, beneath this tree,
Reach out to touch the clouds,
Dance in the breeze,
Cause this Earth spins round and round,
Sometimes we need to slow it down,
And rediscover, what it means,
to be.

[Bridge:]

So hear the streams,
star-gaze and dream,
Dance in the summer storms,
and let her transform,
the way you see today,
tomorrow and yesterday.
And…

Dig way down to the roots,
of your soul, beneath this tree,
Reach out to touch the clouds,
Dance in the breeze,
Cause this Earth spins round and round,
Sometimes we need to slow it down,
And rediscover, what it means,
to be.

    This song ROCKS! no joke. it truly captures the essence of the earth and of the seasons. i really like the line:

    Cause this Earth spins round and round,
    Sometimes we need to slow it down,
    And rediscover, what it means,
    to be.
