Hush
Feel it in the air
As winter melts away
Soft green appears
In glens and dales
New life a-borning.

Hush
Feel it in the air
As waiting melts away
A call for joy
A new baby’s cry-
New life a-borning.

Can you feel the breath around you?
Can you see wondrous souls in flight?

Hush
Feel it in the air
As the ground past slips away.
The fresh breath of wind
The cool kiss of cloud
New flight a-winging.

Hush
Feel it in the air
The cathedral of the Green.
A quick flash of wing
Hooves hit the ground
New flight a-winging.

Can you feel the breath around you?
Can you see wondrous souls in flight?
Can you hear the chorus in union?

Hush
Feel it in the air
All anger melts away
The fresh breath of song
Join the Circle, ’round
New life a-winging.

Can you feel the breath around you?
Can you see wondrous souls in flight?
Can you hear the chorus in union?
Then you’ll feel
Magic

In this song I try to weave fantasy elements and music into a single whole- and create a momentary magic.
