Pay Attention

I've seen a flower blooming

seen a river dance

heard the birds a-chirpin'

watched the fire ants.

I've seen the sun a-settin'

watched a blue moon rise

heard the wind a-blowin'

watched the starry skies

I've seen a miracle growing

seen a miracle die

heard the grass give a whistle

watched with my eyes.

I've seen the difference people make

seen people come and go

heard the way things happened

watched while nature glowed.
