Living in the countryside
Living in the countryside

Living in the countryside
Has a wonderful allure
You can get closer to Nature
And feel her beauty, oh so pure
At night it's really peaceful
You can sit under the stars
The dark is like a velvet cloak
That holds up the lights afar
You can leave doors unlocked
Whether night or day
People can be trusted
Moral virtues to obey
It's not that they're all perfect
It's just a simpler way of life
A focus on what matters
Like respect and being kind
Family and friends close by
Connections that are real
Living in the countryside
Is like a sweet adventure feeling
Muddy walks with dogs
Babbling brooks and streams
Cows and sheep in meadows
Verdant landscapes and woodland beings
Quaint places to have a meal
At a slow and restful pace
The countryside is where you'll find
A special kind of place
Living in the countryside
Gets us back to Nature's ways
If only we could extend this blessing
To those stuck in the city's rat race
