In the hours of silence there is a speechless secret
Feast on the splendor and beauty that nature provides
Discover how to relate and appreciate the greater scheme
Precious gifts are recognized by the grateful and wise

We are shaped from the same elements that create nature
Walking in morning sunlight with life flowing in veins
Containing the salt of the ocean and the oxygen of the air
Breathing in the miracle of being…with one and the same

The arrogance of man has alienated him from the elixir
An eager sense of gaining superiority has blinded eyes
A gray haze hangs the air as the lakes lose transparency
Harmony with nature must be restored… in order to survive
