I used to wonder why the sand was taken by the wind
I used to wonder why the leaves would fall and fall again
But when you listen to the breeze,
There is something wonderful beneath the roaring seas
I used to wonder why the earth would disappear at night
I used to wonder why the wind would take away our kites
But when you listen to the leaves,
There is something beautiful within the lonely trees
Oh I used to believe
That the world was a cold place to be
But now when I look out
To the mountains and seas
The world is no longer a cold place to be
I used to see the earth as dull when clouds concealed the sky
I used to drown myself in doubt when I began to cry
But when I listen to the breeze
There is something wonderful that puts my mind at ease
Oh, I used to believe that the world was a cold place to be
But now when I look out
To the mountains and seas
The world is no longer a cold place to be
