A heritage of vision 

Was given to us all 

To smell the rose's fragrance 

To hear the songbird's call 

To watch the distant moonlight fill 

The coming of the tides 

To understand that life is more 

Than always choosing sides 

And some have seen what can be seen 

Of sailing ships and kings 

And some are given feet of clay 

And some are given wings 

And some must struggle just to breathe 

Some have a golden spoon 

And some will never leave the nest 

While some walk on the moon

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And don't you know the life that lives 

Within the silent hills 

Is just as rich and beautiful 

And just as unfulfilled 

As man with all his intellect 

His reason and his choice 

Oh, who's to say the nightingale 

Has any less a voice 

The silver dolphins twist and dance 

And sing to one another 

The cosmic ocean knows no bounds 

For all that lives are brothers 

The whippoorwill, the grizzly bear 

The elephant, the whale 

All children of the universe 

All weavers of the tale 

Photos 

So palomino lie back down 

And dream yourself to sleep 

The hawk flies with the morning dove 

The lion with the sheep 

As far away as you may go 

We'll never be apart 

It's in your dreams that you will know 

The seasons of the heart
