[English]

Little darlin' don't you see the sun is shining

Just for you only today

If you hurry, you can get a ray on you

Come with me just to play

Like every humming bird and bumblebee

Every sunflower cloud and every tree

I feel so much a part of this

Nature's got me high and it's beautiful

I'm with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth

This corner of the earth is like me in many ways

I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play

On the face of it, I'm blessed, when the sunlight comes for free

I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me

So inspired of that, there's nothing left to do or say

Think I'll dream, 'til the stars shine

The wind it whispers, and the clouds don't seem to care

And I know inside that it's all mine

It's the chorus of the breakin' dawn

The mist that comes before the sun is born to a hazy afternoon in May

Nature's got me high and it's so beautiful

I'm with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth

You know that this corner of the earth is like me in many ways

I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play

On the face of it, I'm blessed, when the sunlight comes for free

I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me

I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me

Hey, I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me

I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me

This corner of the earth is like me in many ways

I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play

On the face of it, I'm blessed, when the sunlight comes for free

I know this corner of the earth, it smiles at me
