Seasons Of The Heart
A heritage of vision was given to us all 
 smell the rose's fragrance 
 To hear the songbird call 
 To watch the distant moonlight fill the coming of the tides 
 To understand that life is more than always choosing sides 
 And some have seen what can be seen of sailing ships and kings 
 And some are given feet of clay , and some are given wings 
 Some must struggle just to breathe 
 Some have a golden spoon 
 And some will never leave the nest 
 While some walk on the moon 
 And don't you know the life that lives within the silent hills 
 Is just as rich and beautiful and just as unfulfilled 
 As man with all his intellect, his reason and his choice 
 Oh who's to say the nightingale has any less a voice 
 Silver dolphins twist and dance 
 And sing to one another 
 The cosmic ocean knows no bounds 
 For all that live are brothers 
 The whippoorwill, the grizzly bear, 
 The elephant, the whale 
 All children of the universe 
 All weavers of the tale 
 So palomino lie back down and dream yourself to sleep 
 The hawk flies with the mourning dove 
 The lion with the sheep 
 As far away as you may go 
 We'll never be apart 
 It's in your dreams that you will know 
 The seasons of the heart
