Something Beautiful Lyrics - Stephanie J. Block: This Place I Know - Stephanie J. Block

Silent I watched the clouds, silent I touch the water 

Silent I lean to people, silent I turn to light 

Silent I welcome birds, silent I lift the children 

Silently reaching outward, silently holding tight 

And my roots go deep in this place I know 

Though I may be old still I grow 

For I was put here to make something beautiful 

Make something beautiful before I go 

Silent I bow to crowds, silent I move to breezes 

Silent I bless the lovers, ending I hear their sighs 

Silent I spread my arms, crooked and gnarl but standing 

Look and you'll see me dancing, look and you'll see me rise 

And my roots go deep in this place I know 

Though I may be old still I grow 

For I was put here to make something beautiful 

See something beautiful, be something beautiful before I go
