HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind

I listened hard, I heard the birds sing

I saw them take to flight and fly free

I saw power in their wholesome wings 

I went deep down the ocean depths 

The primordial power of the earth I felt 

Was ever so majestic the deeper I went

Words fail to capture the essence 

I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks

Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees

Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe

Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze 

In high spirits, but my energy spent 

Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent

I searched the secrets of the seven seas

I was put to bed by the gentle breeze 

It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent  

These answers are worth more per every cent 

Yet on my strength I can't depend 

To the grace of God, I must defer

For in the fire, I found no answer

In the earthquake, I heard no response 

In the thunder, there was no reply 

But in the gentle wind, my God will speak

(In the gentle wind, my God will speak)

(In the gentle wind, my God will speak)

(In the gentle wind, my God does speak)

(And the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind)...
