Lyrics

Silently I rest in the tall green grass
And look steadily upwards
Birds sing ceaselessly around me
And the blue of the sky surrounds me strangely
Out here, life is at its essence
And watches the world with innocent eyes;
Far from grime, far from rushing people
It seems that I have found a tiny peace
On the blue backdrop of the unknown
Water droplets trace their paths;
On the sky, mortals hang on metal —
But who is to know how long either will last?
The lovely white clouds glide
Across the sky and into my dreams
I feel as though I had died some time ago:
Now I’ll wander with the clouds through eternal space
Now I’ll wander with the clouds through eternal space
