Dance, Listen, Run, Watch, Live...
Go dance about under the dark, midnight moon,
stand at the lakeside and listen to the cry of
the blue loon.
Walk the golden hills where the antelope run,
and bask in the light of the mid-day sun.
Explore the great caves beneath the rocky ground,
run through the forests without making a sound.
Climb a mountain and touch the vast sky,
sit on a rock and watch the eagles fly.
Surf the high waves of the endless blue sea,
swing on the branches of a giant oak tree.
Listen to the wolves howl their ancient song,
play in a flower-scented meadow all day long.
fish for trout from a sparkling stream,
cup your hands and catch the moonbeams.
Ride swift horses over the wide, open plain,
splash in the puddles of freshly-fallen rain.
Watch a butterfly land on a pretty, pink flower,
believe all this is the work of a great Godly power.
Marvel at the stars and planets in the vastness of
never-ending space,
know that each and every thing has its own place.
Hunt the nimble deer in the woodlands so vast,
share your memories so they won't fade into the
soon-to-be forgotten past.
Smile at the feeling of the wind on your face,
feel the ground moving under your feet as you race.
Life can be awesome, life can be great,
if only we would let go of our fear and our hate.
This world can be a Paradise land once again,
a place with peace among men, a place without sin.
This Earth is wondrous and full of sensation,
the most wonderful thing in all of Creation.
So go out and dance about under the midnight moon,
and when I finally join you, please smile,
hold out your hand, and make a little room.
