The Way 

The way the songbird sings  
The way the lion roars  
The way the ocean rushes  
The wolves that hunt the boars 
 
The way the sky will love 
The way the wind bellows  
The way the sun will cheer to all 
The little robin fellows 
 
The way the trees bring  
The way the branches hang 
The way the spinning world 
The way love comes and sang 
 
The caves that which the bears  
The way they live in deep 
The way a fox will wake  
From everlasting sleep 
 
The way the flowers bloom 
The green that flows inside 
All pale in comparison 
To the jaguar's spotted hide 
 
The way we fill with sorrow  
The way we jump to sky 
The way our heart will sing 
The way our heart will try
