                                   Stand
                                on ground
                                and be still
                           look, watch, listen
                           then, observe until
                     you feel calm with purpose
                      Celebrate life like a chime
                     Become part of the creation
                      Relish in the quality of time
                    Be ready to accept the elation
                 Believe in yourself to be anything
                     Decide to return even better
                  In open skies, let your soul sing
                   above mountains, lakes and sea
                           Go higher and higher
                             like a bird, not king
                               Feel the freedom
                              spread your arms
                                    like wings
                                         Fly
