outside my window

I look outside my window 

I am taken by surprise

Rush outside my doorway

Let the sunrise feel my eyes

I climb upon a rock

And I listen to the stream

Watch the sunrise come

See it shining through the trees

Look across the mountain

Watch the haze fade

Listen to the forest

With the coming of the day

The birds begin to sing

And I watch one take flight

They are also happy

At the passing of the night

 The forest it fills with sunlight 

And the colors slowly fade

Sing a song to the morning

To welcome the day

So I open my eyes and smile

And I start another day

Wipe my hands across my eyes

As the colors slowly fade
