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.
