Shades of Emerald

Verse 1

Waking early just to feel the morning dew

Sinking toes into the dirt

Soft moss where we would often wander

Moving past the timber

Quiet trees that stretch forever

Pre-Chorus

Under emerald leaves

Feeling a cold breeze

Lost among the giants

Shaking off defiance

Chorus

Staring at the giants

Watching shadows climb the bark

Underneath the shades of emerald green

High up in the canopy

Everything is vibrant

Staring at the giants

Verse 2

I beat my chest like a great ape

Hear the mushrooms starting a conversation

Talking with the animals is pure magic

High on the mountain peak

Safe within this nutshell

Pre-Chorus

Under emerald

Verse 3

King of the jungle I’m back in the rhythm

Living a dream while the forest is given

Look at the pines they be scraping the ceiling

Deeper the woods yeah it’s healing the feeling

Gorrilla mode on when I hit on my ribs

Watching the squirrel how he works and he digs

Found a gold truffle that spoke to my soul

Swapped out the drama for keeping it whole

Walking on water or walking on pine

Cracking the nutshell the weather is fine

Don't need a map or a satellite signal

Bird in the thicket is playing a whistle

Nature is loud while the planet is turning

Fuel in my spirit but nothing is burning

Cold in the lungs let the oxygen flow

Stay with the giants and watch how they grow

Outro

Walking through the emerald

Staring at the giants

Chest out like a great ape

Mushrooms keep on

Bridge

Heartbeat echoes down the path we wander

Clouds swirl above but our minds don’t ponder

Soft moss cushioned every new confession

Dapples of sunlight keep us guessing

Footsteps sync in the gold-green light

Your laughter echoing far out of sight

Every little secret carved into trees

Breathing together in moments like these

Chorus

Staring at the giants

Nothing else matters

Emerald dreams where worries shatter

Cool wind rises with the song of the breeze

Roots tangled up in memory, never gonna leave

Post-Chorus

Vibrant, vibrant, all I see

Nature surrounds you and me

Vibrant, vibrant, underneath the green

Life in a nutshell, wild and free
