I long for an ocean
So cold and deep
Its waves caress me
And rock me to sleep

I long for a forest
So tall and calm
It holds my sorrows
Like sand in a palm

I long for a meadow
So wide and blank
It's without judgement
Don't need to be frank

I long for a mountain
So huge and grand
It shows me greatness
That rests in my hand

I long for freedom
The freedom of life
It lets me be
And so I thrive

I long for nature
To nurture me well
The lands are my parents
And with them I dwell
