In the Nude

I stood naked upon the hill
and looked out over the field
there were daisies and daffodils
the sky was clear and blue
as I stood there in the nude

The grass was wet under my feet
as the sun dried the morning dew
and all the animals came to see
as I stood there in the nude

The birds all began to sing
in the trees around me
all my troubles seemed so few
as I stood there in the nude

And as the day began to end
the night became my friend
I saw the man in the moon
just standing there in the nude
