As you breathe in,

In touch with the mountain air,

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the mountain air

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with the mountain tops

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the mountain tops

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with the cool running water

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the cool running water

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with the still water

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the still water

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with the clouds in the blue sky

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the clouds in the blue sky

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with the trees

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the trees

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with the flowers

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the flowers

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with the people

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the people

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with the children

As you breathe out,

Smiling to the children

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with summer and autumn

As you breathe out,

Smiling to summer and autumn

 

As you breathe in,

In touch with winter and spring

As you breathe out,

Smiling to winter and spring
