Beautiful 2

 

I went down to the river wide

It’s roaring laughter made me smile inside

As it spoke to me in a voice so wise

 

I followed the canyon turn and wind

'Twas like walking through the sands of time

The warm wind etched its story into my mind

 

Oh beautiful    Oh beautiful

Oh so beautiful to me

 

I journeyed through the aspen grove

Leaves twinkled as if to say hello

I felt this joy rise up from my soul

 

Then I sat along the calm lakeside

The play of light held me mesmerized

Dazzled by the dance of the dragonfly

 

Oh beautiful    Oh beautiful

Oh so beautiful to see

 

No better place for me to be

With eyes open now I see

In the fullness of the moment I believe

A gift I’m grateful to receive

 

I stood upon the mountain high

Between the worlds of earth and sky

Suddenly I felt that I could fly

 

Then over the peaks the full moon rose

Lighting up the valley far below

Soon I was bathed in the magic of its glow

 

Oh beautiful     Oh beautiful

Oh so beautiful to me

 

I ventured up into the rocks so bold

They whispered of secrets yet to be told

Their majesty was a wonder to behold

 

I gazed upon the ocean blue

Awed by its power and expansive view

My mind became clear as my spirit was renewed

 

Oh beautiful    Oh beautiful

Oh so beautiful to me
