Song for the Countryside

Can you hear the countryside singing?

Can you see the green shoots and humble beginnings?

Cracking and blossoming, popping and springing

Up from the soil in the ground

Can you feel the sun on your face?

Warming the cracks and the lines that life placed on you

Air so sweet, it's a treat just to taste it

Don't waste it or wish it away

While you've been stuck inside your shoebox for so long

Won't you step outside and hear the countryside's song?

Can you hear the countryside singing?

Can you see the spiders and the webs that they're spinning?

Pale as milk, shining like silk

And glistening in the morning rain

Have you seen the candy floss clouds?

Blooming white pillows that billow so proud

Tell me the shapes and the faces you see

Now you're free to stare up at the sky

Ah, you've been stumbling through the silence for so long

Won't you clear your voice and sing the countryside's song?

Let it open your mind

Heaven knows it's time

To feel the wind blowing

To see the stars glowing

And the silver moonlight on the trees

To feel the change coming

Like wild horses running

It's time to set yourself free
