I watch as a lifeless limb drifts down the river of life.
I watch as a storm cloud races across an otherwise empty sky of blue.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch a brilliant flame extinguished and waft away a wisp of smoke.
I watch as a leaf falls from its tree never to be one again.

I watch these things, I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch as raindrops fall from the sky,
I watch them nourish God's green earth.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the firefly bring light to the evening sky,
I watch the spider spin its masterpiece,

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the sun fall beneath the horizon as darkness takes up residence.
I watch the moon but just one half, the other half playfully hides.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the bird out on the wire and marvel at its balance.
I watch as stars fight to outshine one another in a beautifully moonlit sky.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the envious, as green as the first summer's day,
I watch their greenness turn to red, as rage has now consumed them.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the homeless sift through trash,
I watch this as my heart is heavy, my eyes begin to water.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the evil get rewarded and carry on unscathed.
I watch the good have to fight epic battles just to live another day.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch a mother hug their newborn,
I watch the cycle of this life,

I watch these things , I watch ....
I always will watch these things!
