Lyrics

​Seasons turning, turning, turning through the year
Life force stirring, stirring, stirring, can you hear?
Shoots emerging, merging, merging can you see?
Soon the beauty in the earth will be revealed

Through the year, through the year
Can you hear, can you hear?
Through the year, through the year
Soon the beauty in the earth will be revealed

Wind is blowing, blowing, blowing through the trees
Seeds are floating, floating, floating on the breeze
Gently growing, growing, growing can you feel?
Soon the beauty in the earth will be revealed

Through the trees, through the trees
On the breeze, on the breeze
Through the trees, through the trees
Soon the beauty in the earth will be revealed

Water flowing, flowing, flowing, flowing free
Rivers rolling, rolling, rolling to the sea
Life unfolding, folding, folding from beneath
Soon the beauty in the earth will be revealed

Flowing free, flowing free
To the sea to the sea
Flowing free flowing free
Soon the beauty in the earth will be revealed.
