Come that one Morning

Sit and watch the sunrise
     on a morning oh, so clear;
Listen to the whispers
     riding on those breezes near.
Look for the sailing ships
     cruising high upon the sea,
Then silently give thanks
     that you are still walking free.

Gaze upon the mountain
     that is standing out afar;
Wonder if people there
     would even know who you are.
Watch the eagle soaring
     on the thermals up above,
Looking for his dinner
     while you are looking for love.

Cross the wide prairie green
     on a summers afternoon;
Cottonwoods are in sight
     so you know you'll be there soon.
There's a little cabin
     standing in a clearing bright
And you hope that you'll sleep
     ever peacefully tonight.

Yesterday's far behind
     while tomorrows never come,
And for all your travels
     seems your journey's not yet done.
In-between weariness
     and footprints lost in the sand;
You might wake one morning,
     when at last you'll understand.
