Life Forms

The waterfall plunges down from the rocky mountain
The water ice cold rains on my skin
I raise my arms to the blue sky
I know I have been blessed
Blessed with life.

The Eagle is flying
His wings wide catching the tail winds
Soaring silently and higher into the far skies
I lift my eyes upwards and follow his path
Oh this sweet, sweet life

I have walked in the halls of kings
I have stood in the tombs of Pharaohs
My hands have held history
My eyes have seen beauty
Life has been generous

Will you come with me and witness the dawn
When dark night slips slowly away
The cold air gently warming to the sun
Let me show you the birth of a new day

For each day is a day of life
A day of history
A day not to be forgotten
Will you share that day with me

Feel how the earth moves and breathes
Look at the palette of colours gracing the skies
The tempest of the sea as she sways back and forth
Nature is all that is free
Nature is life

I embrace all that is life
Life embraces me
She dries my tears and heals my heart
Life is a silent traveler
She sees me
She hears me
She feels me
She touches me
For I am alive,
I AM ALIVE
