Watch the World Turn

The world turns, Changing every second, With every whisper of the wind Every movement of the sea, Every song of the birds, All the earth is in motion Look at your surroundings And see the change incarnate Watch as spring first begins – The flowers in their bloom The trees all green and glorious The sky a crystal clear, All the world seems light and weightless We see nature and smile at its beauty Watch as spring bursts into summer – The sun shining brighter, The air feeling warmer, The heat healing the earth, All the world is free and cheerful We feel fresh, vivacious and content Watch as summer rolls into autumn – The leaves turning all shades of orange Nature taking on a deeper hue, The cool starting to finally sink in, All the world begins, school, work, and play We adjust to a new routine Watch as autumn fades into winter – The air getting crisper, The days becoming shorter, Glittering snow falling softly to the earth, All the world is comfortable and cozy We settle down to warm by the fire Look at your surroundings, And see the change incarnate With every breath you take, Watch the world turn.
