The cold breeze I feel.
The trees that are swaying,
The rain from up above that is falling.

The green grass in plains,

The beautiful rolling mountains,
The white clouds in the sky,
The birds that soar so high.

The sparkling seashores I saw.
It felt so good to see,

What God created for you and me.
