Inspired by my walk in an Indian rainforest in 2012, in awe of nature and the way it can heal us. Bonus track included.
lyrics
Graceful green trees
all shades of green
resting over my head
showering me with awe
I bow
I bow
I bow
fingertips moist
skin kissed by the Sun
cleansed by the rain
falling from the clouds
I bow
i bow
I bow
feet bare and strong
following along
soil fills the space
in between my toes
I bow
I bow
I bow
birds are singing
to-ing and fro-ing
calling me to song
overtures abound
I bow
I bow
I bow
my arms follow
swinging forth and back
to the beat of their song
i attempt to sing along
I sing out of tune
nature responds in key
we harmonise in dissonance
a spontaneous symphony
in arhythmic splendour
we dance (I bow)
we dance (I bow)
we dance (I bow)
...
