oh and you're moving past the
walls of the city
to the great open-ness
it's in the air
it's in the air 

and the grass is starting to grow
and the rivers are starting to run
it's in the air
singin' the same song
singin' the same song
singin' the same song 

oh and the birds are starting to
return
oh, seein' them seein' them
and the sap...oh
the trees are starting to turn
and the little lamb... 

spring is in the air
singing' the same song 

oh
beautiful child
there is much ahead
there is much ahead
there is much joy
there is much joy
there is much joy 

oh
there is much ahead
children
