(Lyrics and music by James Seals, 1967)
|
Lookin' up the sleeve of confidence, I jump down from the fence.
|
Been a long time since I've felt this way, let the feeling stay.
|
Reaching for the arms of love, livin', dreamin', thinkin' of
|
The moment I slip on the glove, my fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown.
|
|
Starin' at the face of happiness, this time it answers yes.
|
In aging peace my doubts will rest away, let the feeling stay.
|
Looking through the eyes of truth, I see faith and love and youth.
|
And all else dries up like the dew, my fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown.
|
And I'll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.
|
|
The distant feeling's gone, and I can make it from now on.
|
My world has something new. It's all because of you.
|
The sweet green fields growing in my life will never die.
|
|
Lookin' up the sleeve of confidence, I jump down from the fence.
|
Been a long time since I've felt this way, let the feeling stay.
|
Walking up the road of togetherness, this time I must confess
|
This day's the very best. My fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown.
|
And I'll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.
|
Now I'll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.
|
Well I'll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.
