Second Nature Lyrics - Singles - Clannad

To a son it is given 

Some dusty strings from the wall 

Fingers touch and he plays a tune 

It's a mighty air 

You know the heart is there 

(It hides) 

From the outside 

(And it shines) 

From within 

A ready pen for a picture 

Fine scribes lead the way 

Focus lens, direct eyes that see 

The gifted hands 

Through timeless sands 

(It hides) 

From the outside 

(And it shines) 

From within 

Second nature 

Second nature 

Second nature 

Second nature 

When nature takes you for a stroll 

Down an avenue with so much soul 

Pleasure, gifts and the ornaments 

The creation found, "In the moving cloud" 

(It hide, hides) 

From the outside 

(And it shines) 

From within 

(The kind) 

That keep holdin' on 

(And it shines) 

From within 

Second nature 

Second nature 

Second nature 

Second nature
