Within

In the woods I search for my soul The part of me that keeps me whole Under rocks I look and look I search the trees and in the brook This long path it takes me back Let go of all the things I packed The things I do not need The things that make me sore and bleed I search the open sky in wonder The clouds are dark in rolls the thunder The rain washes my sorrow away In its wake I want to stay Lightning strikes a big tree I run from all the dropping debris I call out for my soul I still feel lost, still feel cold The thunder shakes the ground below me It shakes me up and disagrees I look under each tree In the holes where could it be? The sun comes out and shines down on the earth The rays follow me in my worth I look up and smile and laugh My souls been here on my behalf Be free young one and learn to laugh Open your eyes to what you are Natures in each and every scar The universe secrets are open to all But you have to listen and learn to crawl Your soul is in every star You’re soul is you and the universe you are.
