IN NATURE

I am looking, searching for you man,
I am peering deep into your well,
I want to find your human core
And cast away your outer shell.

I am looking for you with the morn,
I am picking roses for your day,
I am looking for you in the Spring,
I am breathing warmth across your way.

I am looking for you in the fields,
Gathering pollen on my course.
I am looking for you ’neath the oaks
And wish that you knew true remorse.

I am looking for you with the bees
Collecting honey as your prize,
I am looking for you with the birds
And bring delight into your eyes.

I am looking for you with a song
Within your soul, songs’ true domain.
I am looking and I’ll find you when
You have become a man again.
