Laura Beth Buchleiter - Mountain Morning

And I woke up to a mountain rising from a desert plain
Cutting lines in the Arizona sky
The doves broke the morning with the gentle song they sang
To greet me with a waking lullaby

This is where I find my place to be
Just to be

And I gather with my family Both of blood and of life
As we long to find the love and all the things
Their tears become my tears and their Sorrows my strife
and we find joy in each new song we sing

This is where I find my place to be
Just to be

And I'll sleep beneath the canopy of Smokey Mountain trees
As they spread their arms Welcoming the stars
And I'll sit and watch the wild geese Swim against the stream
Wondering how we ever got this far

This is where I find my place to be
Just to be

And the being goes on and on

There is laughter in the hallways of my deepest memories
And the morning sun beckons them to rise
Into spaces now left vacant by the people who have gone
And left me here to wander 'neath these skies

This is where I find my place to be
This is where I find my place to be
Yea this is where I find my place to be
Just to be
