No, me I revere<br>in the enchantment of mother nature<br>Her caress it soothes and brings me joy<br><br>Kneeling to the rainfall<br>Wind`s whispers beckoning<br>Inhaling the sweet scent<br>Elation is overwhelming<br>The way is dim but somehow I find it<br>One by one the victims of life are dwindling<br><br>Me, take me... grief no more if death will save me<br>Take me, save me, show me salvation<br>Lead me... a sacred path, reinstate creation<br>Show me joy, grief, pride<br>and show me your envy<br><br>The way is dim but somehow I find it
