Natures Wake

Cast me simple Into a life without No cars No roads to wonder No cities No industry to thunder And take me into the quiet Give me ears to listen To the birds To the crickets of the night To the wind To the dry leaves in flight Grab me up,heart and soul Show me the way to always roam Through deserts Through fields of blowing wheat Through forests Through rivers of flowing streets Swear that I will live as any of a million creatures Like the mosquito Like the hawk that dives and swoops Like the lake trout Like the chicken that jumps the coop Freed souls we will always relate Of times caught in Nature's wake In the forests In the alpine lakes so calm In the moonlight In the high peaks at dawn So cast me simple Into a life without No cars No roads to wonder No cities No industry to thunder And lay me softly on meadowed shores remind me of theseplaces I so adore
