El Pastor

El Pastor
Riding a river, over the creek.
Climbing a mountain, crossing a stream.
Only in dreams would I ever see this. Only in dreams.
Down in the forest air is so clean,
walking through nature I have never seen (or even knew was there).
Cat, bird, and deer all live together.
I can't believe it - air is so clean.
Walking through nature I have never seen.
Everything's so beautiful in full colour.
Been out of The City for over two weeks.
Almost forgotten, the sadness it breeds.
Work for a leader that no one has seen,
stare at a screen that feeds on your dreams.
Out in the nature air is so clean,
looking at creatures I have never seen, and couldn't even name.
And they speak our language,
and they speak saying:
Everything's so beautiful in full colour.
Never thought I'd see the sky with bare eyes.
Tall grass is everywhere.
This could end the suffering.
Before you know you'll find a home
where nature grows in complex forms,
and stretches far beyond the sea.
The lake is ours lets make it breathe.
Before you know you will soon find a home where nature grows.
