[Intro] [Warm Acoustic Piano Solo, Gentle Harp Arpeggios, Spacious Studio Mix] [Verse 1] [Intimate Female Vocal, Soft Breathy Tone, Warm Close-Mic, Clear Diction] When you go out to the forest, tread carefully, on tiptoe. As soon as you step under the trees and the first blackbird flutters before you: Then you must know that the forest has noticed you. If you stop for a moment, you will hear the breeze as it glides through the trees. You already know that this breeze was shaken by an angel from the folds of their cloak. [Pre-Chorus] [Gentle Storytelling, Soft Brushed Drums Entrance] If you listen close, you can hear the sprites too, busy in the thicket. They have much to do, they need to hurry. You will see the flowers too, and from every chalice a little fairy peers out at you. They watch to see if you're a harmful human... those are the ones they fear! But you'll be a seeing-human, and the fairies will know it soon. They sit on the petals and laugh at you so sweetly. [Piano Solo] [Virtuoso Expressive Piano Solo, Soft Brushed Drums, Crisp Acoustic Studio Sound] [Chorus] [Emotional Delicate Delivery, Piano Chords, Rich Harp Arpeggios, Soft Drums] But then you hear the brook as it tells you stories, wondrous tales of the woods. You walk on quietly, admiring, aimless, until suddenly you step into the Glade of Angels. You don't even know that this is it—since human eyes cannot see the angels! All you see, all you feel, is that it is wonderfully beautiful. And you stop. In that moment your heart opens, And the angels step silently beside you, one by one, on tiptoe, And they place their treasures inside your heart: The greatest treasures that God created for mankind—goodness, love, and peace. [Call and Response Solo] [Melodic Piano Lines Answered by Cascading Harp Arpeggios, Soft Brushed Drums] [Verse 2] [Intimate Close-Mic Vocal, Gentle Storytelling, Minimalist Accompaniment] You know nothing of all this at the time. You only hear that the birds are singing so beautifully, and the brook is telling its story. You only see that the forest is so beautiful. The trees, the flowers, the grass, the moss, the high blue sky, And upon it that great shimmering white cloud where the Creator sits, Puffing sheep-clouds from His big blue pipe, smiling with loving-kindness. [Bridge] [Soft Breathy Whispered Vocal, Piano and Harp Motifs, Emotional Delicacy] Only when you return among the people, among the destructive ones and the greedy ones, And though they are cruel to you, you still return their cruelty with goodness... [Chorus] [Emotional Delicate Delivery, Upfront Lead Vocal, Full Acoustic Ensemble] You carry love for everyone, and even in the heaviest moments of life, Serenity and peace rest upon your brow: Only then will they see in you that you have walked upon the Glade of Angels, my dear. [Outro] [Solo Harp and Piano, Soft Drums Fadeout, Final Piano Chord]
