| A Strum of Summer and Fog Johann Bedingfield I peered at my pa and bro I saw the dawn through the spruce Sun rays once brought joy, now sorrow Traveling on wet roads Through the fog of the Great Smokeys The mystery of these mountains, oh ecstacy Oh, how they whispered to my soul Calling my name, welcoming my innocense These memories I journey to the past Only to find myself in a river of tears Fade. Oh please don't fade. It's only thing I can believe My magical moment My special place My runaway haven Don't let it slip away. Understand, I'm tired Understand, I love the world so much Understand, I would rid her of pain See me! I fight for you! See me! I dream of the day that we dance Oh humanity, my humanity Share this dream with me Hear my tears Feel my words I’m on my knees Black Bear and White Dear Jesus and Nadine My saviors Trickling so pure Grandfather mountain and kestrels Eagles and Wolves My forest of comfort Some dolphins play On bright Summer’s day I’m a babe in his mother’s arms I’m a wind to carry your hair I’m the ferret of the night A wise old, young owl With much to learn Copyright Johann Bedingfield |
