From the recording World of Dreams
Lyrics
D A7 D
I saw a lizard in the yard today
G D A
sitting on a leaf, living life his way
D F# G
And he gave a little tip I'd like to share
D A7 D G
He said you can be happy most anywhere
G D G
in the beauty around us
D G
in the world that surrounds us
D
though it sometimes confounds us
A Bm A G
and we forget to see
D A D
How magical it is simply to be
A tiny wren busts out a soulful call
Surprisingly loud for such a little animal
And she sang a little song I'd like to share
She sang you can be grateful most anywhere
in the beauty around us
in the world that surrounds us
though it sometimes astounds us
we forget to see
How magical it is simply to be
I saw a spider hanging in a tree
Dewey web reflecting sunlight just for me to see
And it made me have a thought I think I'll share
You can find great wonders everywhere
In the beauty around us
in the world that surrounds us
though it sometimes confounds us
and we forget to see
How magical it is simply to be
