When the raindrops slide slowly down your cheek, I am there
When you see the sun, rising on the ocean waters, I am there
When the solemn moon shines all about you, I am there.
When even you may come to lose your faith, I am there
The cool wind knows my aspect.
The sunshine knows my heart.
The waves that on the oceans roll
have seen my inmost parts.
But rams can rest in mountain caves.
As eagles nest in trees.
The hermit crab can take a shell,
But there’s no place for me.
And so I sing life’s bittersweet song,
Of sorrow and of strife.
I play my role; Yes I am here!
As long as I have life.
So see me in the starlight,
Hear me in a song.
And when I can here roam no more,
Only please dream on.
I give my heart, I dance for you,
But wonder, what for me?
And fear that I will yet play on,
Until eternity.
Why don’t I feel the soft rain?
Why sense I not the breeze?
It does not cool and calm my soul,
It only stirs the trees.
