Cycles

I wrote this tune (and counter melody) way back in college... the words came quite a bit later. I made this in Garage Band, and am making all the sounds you hear with my voice or dulcimer - but using some effects and filters. All photos were found in flickr Creative Commons-licensed content. Thank you mystery photographers.
Lyrics:
Gentle rains, a scepter in bloom
Flowers of spring, come help me to feel
Season's promise quickens in womb
Turns the ever rolling wheel
New-found freedom soars from the nest
Summer heat come help me to heal
Fruits of labor manifest
Turns the tireless rolling wheel
Dappled sun, the harvest crown
Autumn winds come help me to feel
Leaves lose their hold and tumble down
Turns the tireless rolling wheel
Air grows chill, a mantle of snow
Winter's still, come help me to heal
Icicles grow, and cold winds blow
Turns the tireless rolling wheel
