"I Am There"
I am the breeze that kisses your cheek.
I am the sun that warms your face.
When you look at the purple evening sky, it is me.
When you see a majestic mountain, it is me.
When the birds sweetly sing, it is my voice.
When the water gently laps against the shore, it is my heartbeat.
I am the green grass against your feet.
I am the refreshing shade of summer.
In the stars, you see my eyes.
In the blue sky, you see my body.
Feel the air that surrounds you, I am there.
Feel the love in your heart, I am there.
