A                                 E
I hear a bird chirping up in the sky, 
A                                E                 A
I'd like to be free like that, spread my wings so high. 
A                                      E
I see the river flowing, water running by, 
A                           E                A
I'd like to be that river, see what I might find. 
D                            A
I feel the wind a-blowing, slowly changing time, 
                                E                  A
I'd like to be that wind, I'd swirl and shape the sky. 
D                               A
I smell the flowers blooming, opening for spring, 
                               E         A
I'd like to be those flowers, open to everything.

A                                                    E
I feel the seasons change: the leaves, the snow and sun. 
A                              E            A
I'd like to be those seasons, made up and undone. 
A                                               E
I taste the living earth, the seeds that grow within, 
A                             E                A
I'd like to be that earth, a home where life begins. 
D                            A
I see the moon a-rising, reaching into night, 
                               E               A
I'd like to be that moon, a knowing, glowing light. 
D                           A
I know the silence as the world begins to wake, 
                            E                A
I'd like to be that silence as the morning breaks.

A                                 E
I hear a bird chirping up in the sky, 
A                                E                 A
I'd like to be free like that, spread my wings so high.
