Have you ever just paused for a moment to take it all in
To take in the sights
The nights
The lights
and the heights?
To take in the sounds
The grounds
The towns
and the bounds?
To take in the sensations
The relations
The foundations
and the nations?
To take in life as a whole
Even when you're on a roll
Caught up in all your business
But do you ever witness
How the world spins
And how life begins
It's an incredible rhythm
Wrapped up in this giant system
How the birds fly and the bees buzz
This doesn't happen "just because"
It's all perfectly aligned
Perfectly combined
To create the world as it is
And no, it's not just "his"
It's hers, and theirs,
And shared with the bears
The animals, the creatures
With different kinds of features:
The land, to the sea
A blue whale, to a little flee
The rainforests, to the deserts
The poison a Dart Frog exerts
I can go on forever
To whomever –
However,
I urge you to see
To find the key
Open your eyes
Watch the sunrise
Forget reality for a while
And just smile
Appreciate the world around you
How the sky is perfectly blue
And take the time to wonder
What's above all the thunder
This life is a gift
For you to uplift
A chance that was given
And now that you're livin'
Be thankful for this
The love from a kiss
A hug from a stranger
May not be danger
Keep your mind open
And I'm truly hopin'
You will find some peace
That you will never cease
To be amazed by Earth
Long after birth.
