Have You Ever (Elemental Reprise)

Have you ever felt like laying down

And let the Earth calm your fears

Have you ever felt like laying down

And let the Earth absorb your tears

Have you ever dug in the ground

And felt the deep quiet sound

Have you ever thought of how you could hurt

The mountains, valleys, plateaus, even dirt



Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, comes to join you

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, that which we know is true

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, comes to join you

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, that which we know is true



Have you ever felt like breathing deep

And expelling all your anger in air

Have you ever felt like breathing deep

And letting your heart show bare

Have you ever swirled in the wind

And felt as you grinned

Have you ever felt intertwined

With the the roaring wind



Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, they come to join you

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, that we know is true

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, they come to join you

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, that we know is true



Have you ever felt like staring at a fire

And feeling it's protective light

Have you ever felt like staring at a fire

And feel it chasing away the night

Have you ever danced around a bonfire

And raised your arms higher and higher

Have you ever thought of how

Important fire is to us, even now



Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, fire, must come to join you

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, fire, what we all know is true

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, fire, must come to join you

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, fire, what we all know is true



Have you ever felt like leaning back

And let the rain cleanse your soul

Have you ever felt like leaning back

And the water fill you till full

Have you ever danced in the rain

And let it wash away your pain

Have you ever respected the notion

That we need lakes, streams, and oceans



Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, fire, water, come to join you

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, fire, water, all that we know is true

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, fire, water, come to join you

Have you ever felt like embracing the elements,

Earth, air, fire, water, all that we know is true
