Through the years I’ve been on this path
Until now, I’m going back
I left quite young; I was ten years old
The sun has changed, but not the moon
In the woods, I heard a cry
A snake jumped out, and he tried to bite
He asked me, “Sir, what’s your fate?”
I thought real hard, and then I said,
“Do you know where I’ve been?
I’ve seen so many things
Now as I sit here upon
I can see my favorite one.”
As I walked, I saw a bird
He looked at me, and then I heard,
“Sir, look at me. I’m so weak and frail.
My wings are dull, and my face is pale.”
I picked him up; I put him on my back
And then he said, “Where goes this long, long trek?”
I told him, “home, cos there’s my fate.”
And then I said what I told the snake
“Do you know where I’ve been?
I’ve seen so many things
Now as I sit here upon
I can see my favorite one.”
