[Intro]
Whispers thread the leaves, a soft hello to dawn
I walk the listening earth, where rivers carry on
[Verse 1]
In the green cathedral, I breathe in ancient light
Foxes blink in dusk, owls pin the stars at night
The river writes its stories on the stones I lean to hear
I follow the current of wonder, year after year
[Chorus]
Oh forest, teach me patient pace and sky-blue breath
Let me learn your quiet languages, until I’m gentler than myself
Rivers write my questions on your shimmering skin
I’m listening, I’m learning, I’m part of where you’ve been
[Verse 2]
Mountains guard the windy prayers that stretch my spine
Season turns her pages, gold to white, soft pine
Wind carries leaves like secrets spoken in a vow
Sunlight stitches shadows on a path I’m learning now
[Chorus]
Oh forest, teach me patient pace and sky-blue breath
Let me learn your quiet languages, until I’m gentler than myself
Rivers write my questions on your shimmering skin
I’m listening, I’m learning, I’m part of where you’ve been
[Bridge]
If I falter, the world forgives the mist of rain
I lift my gaze to where the eagles ride the when and again
[Chorus]
Oh forest, teach me patient pace and sky-blue breath
Let me learn your quiet languages, until I’m gentler than myself
Rivers write my questions on your shimmering skin
I’m listening, I’m learning, I’m part of where you’ve been
[Outro]
So I’ll linger where the wild winds begin and end
Thank you, nature, for every turn you send
