[Verse 1] It's the quiet wind on the water And the thundering stars in the sky The scorching forest fire And the complex human eye The sound of waves collapsing Or a newborn's waking cry The way new seeds float to the ground Right where the old flowers die [Chorus] I know You're there I know You're watching Though I don't feel You And I don't live like I want to You still care Though Lord I'm prone to wander I'm hardly listening You're always calling [Verse 2] It's the red birds stunning feathers And a horses unmatched strength It's the ways the Rockies tower And the canyons looming lay It's hundred tiny feet Under a hundred centipede legs The sun and the moon twirl in a dance
Determining the days [Chorus] I know You're there I know You're watching Though I don't feel You And I don't live like I want to You still care Though Lord I'm prone to wander I'm hardly listening You're always calling [Verse 3] It's the way we're warned of winter By the bloody autumn leaves How all the ground is connected By the roots under the trees Though the violence of human nature The Earth is whispering Soft, gentle, and brilliant Is my Maker's love for me [Chorus] I know You're there I know You're watching Though I don't feel You And I don't live like I want to You still care Though Lord I'm prone to wander I'm hardly listening You're always calling
