lyrics

Where do I find my peace? Where do I find my peace?

In those damp mossy parts of the woods
In the roots and the branches of the trees

In those moments when stagnant humidity
Is blown away by a fresh welcome breeze

One that tickles the hairs on the backs of my knees.
When I’m outside, in nature, I can be, I can breathe.

I feel like my real self-- grounded but free
Every cell in my body trusts my breath- they trust me.
And I wonder:
is everyone this enamored of trees?
Does everyone love them? It isn’t just me.
And this feeling I feel? It isn’t just peace.

It’s surrender.

It’s being humbled by the
beauty that this planet engenders.

I see the towering trees, the smiling clouds, and the serene river
And my heart starts to beat faster and my spine is all shivers
And I want to breathe this memory in
So it can travel through my bloodstream like oxygen

Because this is what keeps me all-the-way alive
This is what I need to be free, to fully thrive.

I need sunshine and rain on my skin
I need to embody the body I’m in.

I need forests for ease
I need water for peace
I need long walks and

somewhere to swim.
