[00:20.97]I met a countryman, he didn't understand my ways.
[00:30.78]A spark was in his eyes, that set my frenzied mind ablaze
[00:40.65]I longed to have his calm, lay down my fighting arms
[00:44.94]But was afraid for I had realized that to see through this man's eyes,
[00:54.81]I had to be a child once more;such a sacrifice
[01:03.30]Could I pay the price, when I wasn't sure
[01:10.68]He stood there smiling, quietly deciding,
[01:15.36]How I earned my money, stayed alive.
[01:20.58]I talked of wonders, of ups and downers,
[01:25.26]Of other ways and means we all survive.
[01:30.81]He talked of life and of birth and of death,
[01:34.92]And how the wind can take away your breath,
[01:40.65]Ooh the seasons, so many reasons for living.
[02:22.50]Countryman.
[03:10.74]And deep inside him I saw pain and I saw grief
[03:14.85]But most of all I saw love -for the living
[03:23.16]Always willing to give more, and more.
[03:30.78]I found a standing stone on which I stood and saw
[03:35.25]A thousand hills around me -green velvet eiderdown.
[03:40.86]I played at being"Man", I played at being God
[03:45.42]And then I was a seed of grass
[03:47.76]Lying scattered on the ground;
[03:51.24]And then the wind suggested another point in time.
[03:55.20]I didn't feel alone anymore, I was ancient for a minute
[04:42.99]Countryman -I was there
