Janis Ian - Nature's At Peace lyrics

Did you notice the dawn
Had the nerve to come on
To the sunrise today?
Have I said that my head
Had the nerve to be dead
When I wanted to break?

Did you see that the sun doesn't need anyone
To come in on time? Nature's at peace
Every time you see the rain

But did you notice the trees
Are standing in peace
Without orders, without me?
Have I told you the leaves
Can't be broken or creased?
A silent symphony

Did you see the lights
When the clouds began to try
And hide the sun from the sky?

Ooh, ooh every time you see the rain

Can it be explained?
Lady Nature's back again
In a world that's gone insane
Lady Nature takes away all the yearning

Maybe I should try to cover up the lies
But the sun in the sky
Has never asked us why we are burning

Nature's at peace
Every time you see the rain
