lyrics

Walking up that valley
I felt that all the stones and flowers
that I passed belonged to me
The creek along the path told me I'm free
I felt brighter than stars, brighter than the sun,
bright as a waterfall

The scent of a thousand flowers
Filled my soul with such a pleasure it almost
felt like flying
The breeze, a caress from mother earth
An eagle up high, white clouds in the sky,
turned my heart into a butterfly

Shivering from a sudden unrest
Even though I felt happy as a child
I guess life turned around a bit too fast.
The echoes from the city resounded in my psyche
Disturbed the graze that nature offered me

The cotton grass was dancing like a corps de ballet
There were dragonflies whizzing happily around
And a lot of busy bugs down on the ground
There were spiderwebs shining in the sun
But eventually the moon was the one
who made me calm
And I fell asleep in this beautiful realm

When I awoke just a moment later
The moon had made a giant leap
from east to west
And I realized that moment was the night
Below me fish were playing some feet
from where I was lying
And I stood up and caught a trout by dawn.

And my thoughts began to wander
in the fields of my sin
And things I had rejected I let in
And some issues that worried me
vanished in the air
Simply because of being here
And I suddenly saw clearly that the one
I loved was you
Sent a kiss towards the sky to an eagle
passing by

Walking down that valley
I felt that all the stones and flowers
that I passed belonged to me
The creek along the path told me I'm free
I felt brighter than stars, brighter than the sun,
bright as a waterfall

The scent of a thousand flowers
Filled my soul with such a pleasure it almost
felt like flying
The breeze, a caress from mother earth
An eagle up high, white clouds in the sky,
turned my heart into a butterfly
