Drinking tea I see that the steam is in me
It is water in a river flowing endlessly
The true nature of its being is ecology
We are all one organism and together we breathe.

(Chorus)

Breathe in it’s the out-breath from the trees
Breathe out exhale and the trees will breathe
Realize all rivers flow to the sea
We inter-are with the trees, when we breathe they breathe.

Breathe in, breathe out.
Breathe in, breathe out.

And as I strum my guitar and listen to its song
My perception of its being just may be wrong
But when I remember that I sing for fun
Then I know my guitar contains the sun
It was growing in the forest stretching out its leaves
Helping us to practice, as we breathe it breathes.

(Chorus)

Breathe in with the out-breath from the trees
Breathe out exhale and the trees will breathe
