Oh, lay me down Let the earth my soul surround Where all I can see Is the land in front of me Where the red azalea grows I'm alone in my repose Paradise, though slowly it grows It has life beyond our own
I've made my life here I think I'm happy here Down where the grass grows Away from all my fears Among the willows Where my sweet peace takes hold Here in the hollows A place that I call home
There's wisdom, you know In the way the water flows Softly, it winds Giving life to all it finds Bringing green to all of the trees Bearing fruit for you and me And all the while, finding its way In the turbulent decay
I've made my life here I think I'm happy here Down where the grass grows Away from all my fears Among the willows Where my sweet peace takes hold Here in the hollows A place that I call home
All the mountains high The clouds across the sky The grand horizon beckons me
The rain comes falling down Upon the thirsty ground Wash away my frailty
The wind blows through my mane It courses though my veins Awakens me to worlds unseen
The trees forever grow The creatures come and go All behold their majesty
The forest sets me free The animal in me All my instincts brought me here
All the mountains high The clouds across the sky The grand horizon beckons me
The rain comes falling down Upon the thirsty ground Wash away my frailty
The wind blows through my mane It courses though my veins Awakens me to worlds unseen
The trees forever grow The creatures come and go All behold their majesty
The forest sets me free The animal in me All my instincts brought me here
