As I walk through the countryside on a glorious September day,

I can hear the soft breeze blowing through the trees

And the birds chirping in the trees

And I feel as free as the soft September breeze

 

I can feel the country air going through my lungs

This makes me think of how wonderful it is

To be able to walk through the countryside

And feel as free as the soft September breeze

 

As I stroll a bit further along I can hear a rippling stream

Flowing as free as the September breeze

I pause for a moment and I say to myself how wonderful it is

To be as free as the soft September breeze

 

As I walk a little further along I come to a stub of a tree

Where I sit for a while to feel the real freedom

Of the beautiful countryside on a September day

To be as free as the soft September breeze

 

While I am sitting in silence my mind wanders

And I ask myself do we really appreciate the beauty and freedom

That surrounds us in the beautiful countryside that God has given us?

Where I feel as free as I ever will be in the soft September breeze

 

Just before I leave for my journey home

I pause for one last moment to feel the freedom of the countryside

And I say to myself how wonderful it would be if the whole world

 Was as peaceful and free as the countryside in the soft September breeze
