This song is about nature and our relationship to and with nature. The first verse was heard one sunday in early spring. The music journeyed from bouzoki via piano until finding its form on an acoustic twelve string tuned DADGAD.

lyrics

Summer can be overwhelming
Its fragrance sweet and strong
But in the spring I touch the change
that comes with natures song

it’s a song of growth and change
for the butterfly in the cocoon
and I was formed through rain and sand
beneath the sun and moon

oh my Lord
oh oh my Lord
The obstacles are the path

By the majesty of His names
In gentleness and grace
A guiding presence to be heard
in songs of love and praise

oh my Lord
oh oh my Lord
The obstacles are the path

The songs are heard and written
in the wilderness I roamed
Every step will take you there
His kingdom is my home

The loving hands of nature
play the music of this world
from every sound and any rhythm
breathes a living word

oh my Lord
oh oh my Lord
The obstacles are the path

oh my Lord
oh oh my Lord
Yes The obstacles are the path
The obstacles are the path
