Lyrics
1. Downtown, office tower
Windows sealed shut
Got a great view, of the parking lot
I am in a rut
2. Shopping all day, air-conditioned mall
Do I need more stuff?
Gap, Target, Macys, the Apple Store
Oh God, I’ve had enough
I drive myself to a peaceful place in the shade of a willow tree
I say “Yes!” to everyday miracles
Only open eyes can see
I say “Yes!” to everyday miracles
They’re all around me
3. Driven to distraction
By each new shiny toy
But now I focus on what really matters
And the things that bring me joy
Chorus
Grateful for the beauty I see
So many gifts bestowed on me
4. I wake up to the sweetest sound:
A morning birdsong choir
Warmed by the glow of the rising sun
My spirit soars higher
