Analysis of Mostly
I mostly like to be outside
When clouds are in the sky.
The wind can make them dance with pride
With Eagles way up high.
The trees join in and dance around
While swaying here and there.
If you try hard, you'll hear the sound
That wind makes everywhere!
If raindrops fall and make a beat
Like drums that feel left out,
The symphony will be so sweet.
Of that I have no doubt!
