I love nature and the singer/songwriter Mason Jennings... So going off of a line from one of Mason's distinct chill storytelling songs called Soldier Boy, "If you never get lost, you never get found." I came up with this song. Enjoy!

Found.

There comes a point in life
where you need to find who you are.
We all get lost.
Where do you go to be found?

Mother Nature understands that adventures
to mountainous peaks, to hidden lakes,
to raging rivers, and desolate deserts
each deliver an unexpected journey to discover who you are.
Be found.

Be found realizing those granite cliffs you are climbing,
is really only a mirror reflecting what lies inside of you.

Be found acknowledging those lakes you are camping around,
is really only a portion of the exclusive views illustrating you.

Be found recognizing those rapids you are riding,
is really only proof that life’s challenges are carving out you.

Be found understanding those wildflowers you are hiking through,
is really only demonstrating that just as a single wildflower brings life to a vast landscape, the earth isn’t complete with out you.

Be found in the thrill of uncovering a new point of view, knowing that you are determined, you are unique, you are powerful, you are beautiful, and you are you.

Be found freeing yourself in the colossal details on your unexpected escapades.

Mother Nature understands that adventures
to mountainous peaks, to hidden lakes,
to raging rivers, and desolate deserts
each deliver an unexpected journey to discover who you are.
Be found.
