I Need

I need birds and butterflies I need flowers and trees I need the smile of a child to brighten up this day. I need to fly like a eagle I need to soar above the clouds I need to be free like the wind to brighten up this day. I need to smell the roses I need to see early dawn I need to watch nature to brighten up my day. I need to leave humanity I need to leave the wars I need to leave all problems to brighten up my day. I need to leave the day I need to put the world away I need to close my eyes to brighten up my day. I need the joy of children I need the joy of family I need the joy of today to brighten up my day.
