Trees and Bees and Birds and Flowers (Saunter with Me)

[Verse 1] Trees and bees and birds and flowers Earth rolls round from hour to hour Seasons change and children grow They’re up and gone before you know We focus on the work that feeds Forgetting time they’re at our knees [Verse 2] We rush life in wishes spent Assuming joy is at the end But joy rustles through the trees It’s in the buzzing of the bees It’s in the petals of the rose In the answers still unknown [Chorus] The destination’s not the goal It's not how far the trail will go Saunter with me through the fields Your soul in nature will be healed Find the joy in the journey’s steps In moments small, in vows kept Joy is found from hour to hour In trees and bees and birds and flowers [Bridge] Walk with me across the land Slow your pace and take my hand Watch a butterfly arise Dancing through blossoms bright See the dear leap through the glen Thank the Lord and breathe again [Chorus] The destination’s not the goal It's not how far the trail will go Saunter with me through the fields Your soul in nature will be healed Find the joy in the journey’s steps In moments small, in vows kept Joy is found from hour to hour In trees and bees and birds and flowers [Outro] Life is short and time is swift None can reclaim moments spent Make the most of every day Receive the joy along your way Receive the joy along your way
