The Echoes of Me I look into the sky and see My life looking me straight in the face But it's cloudy, and rain falls on occasion The sounds of the birds Fill my ear and my spirit And open me to a new day The sun rises on the horizon And brings the song of my soul To the ears of my unsure future A still picture of beauty lies on my eyes My life, my dreams, my hopes All lie deep inside of me The ever rolling hills of my views Continue on as far as the eyes can see And the wind of my voice Blows softly on the ones I love Or as fierce as a hurricane To those who hate me The sparkling seas of my knowledge Pass by those who don't care But enlighten the minds of those who listen The faces of people from my past and my future Are imbedded in my life, and my soul Long after they part from the ground of my being The love that people give Is equal to the love I give them They only receive from me What they send in my direction I hate no one, and would step In the path of a train for anyone A life is much more important Than what most of us fret about every day of our lives I look down at the world And laugh on their stupidity But grin at where they could go I cringe at the thought of hate and war But look forward to the days of peace And of true eternal serenity My song reverberates across the mountain of hopes and dreams It's reflected on the stream of life And is pulled in by the opaque caves Of mystery and supernatural being My song is heard wherever I go And will remain there until the memories Of my life are long and forgotten But my song will never be forgotten Because my song is the greatest song I have ever heard
