While walking down a lonely path I came upon a man sitting in a rocking chair staring at his hand Have you ever been up high And sailed upon a cloud Or flown upon a silver wing While shouting way to loud Have you ever touched the sky Or pushed against the flow Sang with birds on mountain tops With tunes you do not know Have you ever sat and stared Or seen a rainbow end Seeing things that don’t exist Hiding around the bend Have you seen a dragon fly Or Salmon in the streams Looked up at the stars above And wondered what it means Have you ever looked at the moon Or seen a flower grow Count the sand upon a beach Or watched a river flow Have you seen a phoenix rise Or reached out to the sun Kept the moon within a box to use when day is done I turned to answer what he said I looked, theres no one there a grave stone with a question mark And a simple rocking chair rocking

Rocking Chair
While walking down a lonely path I came upon a man sitting in a rocking chair staring at his hand Have you ever been up high And sailed upon a cloud Or flown upon a silver wing While shouting way to loud Have you ever touched the sky Or pushed against the flow Sang with birds on mountain tops With tunes you do not know Have you ever sat and stared Or seen a rainbow end Seeing things that don’t exist Hiding around the bend Have you seen a dragon fly Or Salmon in the streams Looked up at the stars above And wondered what it means Have you ever looked at the moon Or seen a flower grow Count the sand upon a beach Or watched a river flow Have you seen a phoenix rise Or reached out to the sun Kept the moon within a box to use when day is done I turned to answer what he said I looked, theres no one there a grave stone with a question mark And a simple rocking chair rocking
