Forest Bathing

[Verse 1] Soft moss under my feet Cool earth holding my weight I follow a ribbon of light Through branches that weave and sway One step One breath Ferns brushing at my knees I listen for my own heartbeat Folded into leaves [Chorus] I am walking Only walking Breath of the green moves through me Every footfall Slow and honest Rooted like an old oak tree I am seeing Only seeing Light on bark and drifting seed Every moment Just this moment Forest teaching me to breathe [Verse 2] Pine resin on my fingers From a fallen limb I trace The rough of bark The crack of age The circles of its days Birdcall tilts my head I answer with a smile Distant water Quiet wind Carry me a while [Chorus] I am walking Only walking Breath of the green moves through me Every footfall Slow and honest Rooted like an old oak tree I am hearing Only hearing Wing and stream and rustling reed Every moment Just this moment Forest teaching me to breathe [Bridge] I taste rain on the air (ohh) Close my eyes It’s still there Touch a stone Hold it tight Feel its silence Feel its time [Chorus] I am walking Only walking Breath of the green moves through me Every footfall Slow and honest Rooted like an old oak tree I am being Only being Nothing more I have to be Every moment Just this moment Forest teaching me to breathe
