Something in the Grass

Something in the Grass

There is something in the grass

Maybe a cricket or a beetle

And it’s chirping out a tune

High and rhythmic, cheerful too

Yes, there’s something making music in the grass.

There is something in the trees

Maybe cicadas in the leaves

Their song rises and then fades

Respiration in the breeze

Yes, there’s something making music in the trees.

There is something by the creek

Maybe a frog or little bird

It warbles low but loud

Harmonizing with the stream

Yes, there’s something making music by the creek.

There is something in my soul

Maybe it’s been there all along

I feel it lifting, feel it dancing

Sacred melody so enchanting

Oh yes, there’s something making music in my soul.
