Harmony with Nature: Top Songs Celebrating the Natural World

[Verse] City parks and buildings rise Stealin' the blue sky’s breath Dusty winds and noisy cries Can't escape this urban death Dreams of streams and whispering pines Where the county roads align Take my woods back Take 'em back Where the wild and peace entwine [Verse 2] Cain't hear the heartbeat of the hawk Nor the rustle of the leaves Streets filled with empty talk Drownin' simpler times with ease Concrete jungle's iron grip Stranglin' all the green Take my woods back Take 'em back To a life I've rarely seen [Chorus] Take my woods back Oh so free Where the pristine waters flow Where the deer and fox run wild and trees in moonlight grow City lights and crowded noise I'll leave them in the past Take my woods back Take 'em back Find my peace at last [Verse 3] Country folk in hearts still beat With tales of time gone by Preserve the land beneath our feet 'neath God's own open sky Breathe the air that’s clean and sweet Where nature holds the key Take my woods back Take 'em back Set this weary soul free [Bridge] Through the backwoods Shadows fade The spirits freely roam In the quiet hush of the freshly laid I'll find my proper home Eagles soar where cities fail Over valleys deep and vast Take my woods back Take 'em back To the days that truly last [Chorus] Take my woods back Oh so free Where the pristine waters flow Where the deer and fox run wild and trees in moonlight grow City lights and crowded noise I'll leave them in the past Take my woods back Take 'em back Find my peace at last

[Verse] Up before dawn, got my boots laced tight, Woods are whispering, stars fading into light. Got my rifle, my dog, and a heart made of thrill, Hunting in the mountains, chasing that wild free will. [Verse] Camo on my back, scent of pine in the air, Tracks in the mud, there's a bear out there somewhere. Wind's whistling tunes, leaves dance in the breeze, Heartbeats echoing through the tall oak trees. [Chorus] High on the hills, where the eagles fly, Hunting in the mountains, feeling so alive. Tracks in the dirt, breath of the wild, Nowhere I'd rather be than here in nature's child. [Verse] Up on the ridge, see a shadow glide slow, Patience pays off, steady as we go. Eyes on the prize, never taking a miss, This is what I live for, moments just like this. [Verse] Sun breaking through, casting gold all around, Echo of a rifle, adrenaline sings its sound. The mountains whisper tales, old as time, Each step in the wild, another mile to climb. [Chorus] High on the hills, where the eagles fly, Hunting in the mountains, feeling so alive. Tracks in the dirt, breath of the wild, Nowhere I'd rather be than here in nature's child.

[Verse] Leigha you chillin' so high Clouds in the sky floatin' by Dreams in your mind flyin' free Life's a trip can't you see [Verse 2] Days rollin' by in a haze Lost in your sweet mellow phase Sunsets just paintin' the sky Moments that drift and then die [Chorus] Leigha the stoner so wild Free as the nature so mild Laughin' on green hills so high Life is a sweet lullaby [Verse 3] Barefeet on the grass so soft Wanderin' never feelin' lost Music just flows through your soul Peace in your heart takes control [Verse 4] Colors around you so bright Stars in your head every night Eyes like two shimmering seas Life's just a warm summer breeze [Chorus] Leigha the stoner so wild Free as the nature so mild Laughin' on green hills so high Life is a sweet lullaby

Verse 1 (21 bars): In the shadows of my mind, they lurk Wicked thoughts, in darkness they work Tempting whispers, duties they shirk Morality fades, in corners they smirk Forbidden desires, around edges they irk Conscience screams, but still they mirk In recesses deep, their tendrils quirk Reality's edge, sanity they burk Taboo fantasies, in silence they lurk Guilt and shame, together they murk The waters of my soul, they irk My better nature, as they lurk In wait for weakness, they work Their poison slowly, they mirk My judgment, as they lurk In daylight's shadows, they work Their subtle magic, they irk My peace of mind, as they lurk Ever present, ever alert To opportunity, they work Tirelessly, these wicked thoughts that lurk Chorus (10 bars): Wicked thoughts, they come unbidden In my mind's dark corners, hidden Wicked thoughts, morals overridden By desires fierce, conscience chidden Wicked thoughts, in dreams they've ridden My subconscious, fears unhidden Wicked thoughts, are they forbidden Fruits of knowledge, or just midden Of my psyche? Am I guilt-ridden Or just human? Wicked thoughts, unbidden   Verse 2 (21 bars): From primal instincts they arise Evolutionary echoes, ancient cries Of survival, lust, and power's prize Society's constraints they despise Freud would have a field day, these ties To our baser nature, no disguise Can fully hide them, they comprise Part of our psyche, a surprise To our civilized selves, they rise From subconscious depths, terrorize Our waking minds, synthesize With fears and desires, they arise From trauma's ashes, crystallize Our darkest impulses, they guise Themselves as intrusive lies Or hidden truths, they arise From cultural taboos, disguise Our deepest needs, they comprise The shadow self, Jung's surmise Of our wholeness, they arise From the very essence of what comprises us (Repeat Chorus) Verse 3 (21 bars): Morality wages war in my head Against these thoughts I've always dreaded Desire and duty, deeply embedded In my psyche, heavily leaded With guilt, my conscience shredded By constant battle, I'm indebted To societal norms, but fettered By natural urges, unfettered Imagination runs wild, I'm wedded To ethical standards, but bedded By wicked thoughts, I'm threaded Through with conflict, shredded Between what I want and what's needed Morally right, I'm embedded In this struggle, leaded By responsibility, but threaded With rebellious spirit, wedded To the idea of freedom, shredded By the weight of choice, embedded In this human dilemma, leaded With the knowledge of good and evil, forever embedded (Repeat Chorus) Verse 4 (21 bars): Perhaps these thoughts don't define me They're just thoughts, they don't malign me They're part of being human, align me With the whole of mankind, design me To be complex, they refine me Through resistance, they entwine me With my deeper self, assign me The task of integration,

[Verse] Crank the machine, wooden press on duty, Groundnuts rain down, turning rough to fruity, India’s gold, straight from the soil, Purest form, not your average oil. [Verse 2] Cold press twist, no temperature rising, Nutrients intact, now that's surprising, Antioxidant beast, keeps my heart beating, Ayurvedic whispers, ancestral greeting. [Chorus] Golden drops, drip from the press, Life elixir, giving you the best, Healthy glow, skin so fresh, Groundnut's gift, never second-guess. [Verse 3] Good for the joints, nah, no more creakin', Mind sharper than ever, senses peakin', Best of the best, straight from nature's store, Boosts immunity, longevity galore. [Verse 4] Keep it raw, keep it simple, it's our mantra, From south to north, every can’s a tantra, Sizzle in the pan, aroma fills the air, Health in every bite, finest Indian fare. [Bridge] No chemicals, no tricks, no dilution, Just pure love, the ultimate solution, Filled with vitamins, we ain't bluffin', Golden nectar got your health bumpin'.

[Verse] In a farmhouse nestled down in Tennessee, A whirlwind's brewin' that you gotta see, Not talkin' 'bout the weather, no, sir-ee, It's a mini-force of nature, just turned three. [Verse 2] She's got a way of turnin' up the scene, Handful of crayons and a pair of jeans, Milk jug spills like a gasoline, Leavin' chaos in the spaces in between. [Chorus] She's a tiny toddler tornado, Spinnin' 'round fast, never sayin' no, Can't keep up, but boy, we show, Her love's a storm, and ain't that so. [Verse 3] Toys are scattered like leaves in the fall, Walls' been painted with marker scrawl, But her giggle's like a siren call, Brings you joy no matter how big or small. [Verse 4] She dances wild, got her daddy's boots, Serenade the cows, and the chickens too, Her energy, it’s through the roof, Heart of gold and a spirit so true. [Chorus] She's a tiny toddler tornado, Spinnin' 'round fast, never sayin' no, Can't keep up, but boy, we show, Her love's a storm, and ain't that so.

[Verse] Red dust swirling in the Queensland breeze, Gum trees dancing, whispering to the seas, Kangaroos are bounding, freedom's in their stride, In Australia's outback, where the wild hearts ride. [Verse 2] Wattle blossoms bloom beneath the southern sky, Eucalyptus perfume, makes the spirit fly, Billabongs are sparkling in the noonday heat, In the Sunburnt Country, where the earth and sky meet. [Chorus] We're living in Australia's sunburnt land, Where the heart beats strong, and the dreams expand, From the coastal cities to the desert sand, We're singing songs of freedom, hand in hand. [Verse 3] Out on the station, where the cattle roam, Life is rugged, but this land's our home, Stockmen riding hard, under the endless blue, In the heart of Down Under, where the pride shines through. [Verse 4] Koalas in the gum trees, taking their sweet time, Platypus in rivers, nature’s perfect rhyme, Coral reefs are glowing, life beneath the waves, In this great wide country, where nature's beauty saves. [Bridge] From the bushfires' rage to the summer rains, We stand together, through the joys and pains, With a spirit unbroken, we take our stand, Protecting the legacy of this ancient land.

[Verse] Lambari, flow heavy, city in the mist, Águas virtuos, make 'em all twist, Lago Guanabara, life's a steamy fest, Farol das ondas, heart pounding in the chest. [Verse 2] Duchas crashing, nature's own stage, Matas verdes, wisdom of the age, Cachoeiras roaring, life's decisions made, Mulher jovem, breaking out the cage. [Chorus] Cidade das águas, climbin' to the top, Esporte e vida, ain't never gonna stop, Ribeiro Paty, wave that power high, Vereadora grind, reachin' for the sky. [Verse 3] Idosos wise, tellin' tales of old, Esporte moves, diamonds in the fold, Bass bumpin' loud, legends spun in gold, Matas whisper secrets only spirits told. [Verse 4] Virtuosaturismo on the rise, stay bold, Guanabara nights, stories unfold, Farol lighting dreams, passion uncontrolled, Duchas rinse the drama, we're untold. [Chorus] Cidade das águas, climbin' to the top, Esporte e vida, ain't never gonna stop, Ribeiro Paty, wave that power high, Vereadora grind, reachin' for the sky.
