Living in the Country

Like so many people now

I want to live in the country.

Grow my own food, work with my hands.

Dance with the wind,

Sing to the mountains,

Hear my echo come back to me

Filled with sunlight and sweet air.

Somewhere there's a home waiting for me,

Where someday I will go.

Send out my roots, live as the trees do,

Growing higher everyday,

Reaching for the life-light of the sun.

Growing higher everyday,

Reaching for the life-light of the sun.

The door will always be open there,

To welcome friends

Who come to spend some days with me.

Bring your friends from home,

Maybe we can be friends too.

A place where the land is fertile

And the water runs free.

Women to grow with,

To love and to share some dreams.

Dance with the wind,

Sing to the mountains,

Hear my echo come back to me

Filled with sunlight and sweet air.

Hear my echo come back to me

Filled with sunlight and sweet air.
