Mother Nature

Let me go back to the mountains 
Back to the trees 
Back to the forest who once mothered me 

Back to the salt dissolved in the sea 
Breathing in that air so salty and green 
I will go back to for who I came 
And for he came 
And for everyone here 

We will go back 
To live beyond despair

We will go back
To the trees 
The mountains 
The hills of the forest 
The salt of the sea 
Valley and desert 
You once knew me

The honest 
The weary 
And those full of burdens 
Give us joy 
Peace 
And a light 

Find the strength 
And the power 
And as you went back 
So will I

    Just basking in the light of something that would slowly fade 

    I could hear the high pitched ringing 
    A reminder of a past days sacrifice
