Close your eyes
Open your mind
What a beautiful sight to see
The flowers
The trees
The birds in the sky
Waiting for you and me

Close your eyes
Tune in your ears
What beautiful sounds there are
The brook
The birds
The children’s laughter
The most precious by far

Close you eyes
Begin to feel
The aura from every direction
The wind
The sun
The peace of mind
That comes with reflection

Open your eyes
Begin to see
What has always been there
The truth
The faith
The inner soul
The smile that you wear
