Something Silent in the Air

There’s something silent in the air
Calling out to you;
It calls to all the animals,
A whisper soft and true.

There’s something silent in the air,
A secret without end;
Something silent in the swan
That says fly South again.

There’s something silent in the air,
As silent as a dream
That stirs inside the salmon
And sends her back up stream.

There’s something silent in the air
Each year when bison roam,
Something silent in the air
That sends us all back home.
