I want to follow your forested paths through misty woodland streams
drink my morning sun on crystal mountain tops
Mother Nature, I have always loved you
You, the mountains, the oceans are my mother
You, the cold, clear creeks are my home and my refresher
I want to spend tremendous days amidst your glorious cloudswept landscapes,
your windswept hills, your snow white sand dunes
Hiking midwestern ledges in my youth, I found you there on warm flat rocks
later, again in blue misty mountains
skimming a frozen glacier, I heard you there, your river rushing underfoot
Then, what happened? I don\'t know. Life? I missed you for a long time
in a way that only I knew
I had to learn to live a different way and my spirit was unwell
Still I found you there, and out in the open sky my worries would evaporate
as you lifted them all - up and away, into the endless blue
Mother Nature, I am back
a little older maybe, much much wiser
and we meet again, on southern mountain passes, in tropical forests, icy springs,
and meandering wooded trails
and I live for the next moment when we will be together again
your sun-warmed paths, whispering winds, and sparkling trees are calling
Me and you, we\'ve got plans
