Come lets make a journey from the mountain to the sea
And look at natures wonders put here for you and me
We wont go by car or take a railway train
We will travel at natures pace travel by natures ways

Together we will wander down the country paths
There is no reason to hurry, lets make this journey last
Lets stroll beside the crystal streams beneath the skies of blue
Study all the flowers of every shade and hue

Come the evenings shadow we will stop to rest
Find a soft and sheltered place where we will rest our heads
No candles or electric lights will we ever need
Just a canopy of twinkling stars  to cover us as we sleep

We will wake up with the dawn to a chorus of singing birds
Wake up to the greatest sounds that man has ever heard
Quench our thirst from the crystal stream and we will set out again
We have left the mountain slopes and have met the grassy plains

No human habitation, no human voices heard
Just the signs of natures, of deer and soaring birds
Bees and butterflies sip nectar from the flowers
As we wander slowly and do not count the hours

We travel ever westward following the sun
Occasionally some dark grey clouds and cool refreshing rain
For us time has no meaning as we journey to the sea
To be at peace with nature is the only thing we need

Suddenly in the distance an expanse of shining blue
Our walk is nearly over  as the sea comes into view
I will look back in wonder at the things that we have seen
Nature in her full glory, mountain plain and stream……
