Big Sky 22
Lyrics: Seth Houston
Tune: Seth Houston, 1993
Meter: P.M.
When the way is clear, and sunlight shines,
We pursue our way;
With nary a fear, we follow straight lines,
Day after blinding day.
But the path gets blocked and the sky turns black;
Forcing us to pause
And leave, with shock, our narrow track
For one with fewer flaws.
When the sky is blue, and grass is green
We seldom check to see
If our pathway through this verdant scene
Leads toward harmony.
Then danger shakes our selfish minds;
We look to the sky,
New lives to make, new paths to find,
Listen to her reply:
Live your lives, says she, with keen respect
For your brothers of the earth,
To be truly free we must protect
With majesty and mirth:
The ocean and air, forest hill and plain,
Animal in flight:
Are in your care; rejoice in the rain.
And walk the way of light.
