Janis Ian
Nature’s At Peace
[Verse 1]
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?

[Refrain]
Nature's at peace
Every time you see the rain

[Verse 2]
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?
[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh
Every time you see the rain

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

[Verse 3]
Maybe I should try
To cover up the lies
But the sun in the sky
Has never asked us why
We are burning

[Refrain]
Nature's at peace
Every time you see the rain
