things that arise together 

require no other cause

in a place called Nature's What's Sacred 

they transcend all use of force 

.

they need no God to tell them

just what to do and say 

they proceed in no fixed order 

but freely find their way

the thing that unites them

is not fear of sin or error

but an inner love of doing right

in every shared endeavor 

rain does not strike the earth 

but to it a hand lends

the earth knows that its friend the rain 

Nature's balance won't upend 

but will nourish every earthly thing

and things' living bon sustain

i do not force my neighbor 

to obey a way that's mine 

but help him see our labor

as part of Nature's way divine

in a place called Nature's What's Sacred 

my neighbor and I, like the rain and earth 

a common purpose find

in a place called Nature's What's Sacred
