The Valor of Nature

If we would just leave nature alone
It would balance itself out
And us with it
Time and time again
We stand up to nature
And time and time again
It teaches us truth, honor and justice
It is mighty than us
As it will always be
And so shall we be humbled
In its mighty presence
As it renews itself each time the sun sets
And springs forth in the fresh morning dew
As it opens its heart
Victorious and full of valor.
