Wilderness

Born a wilderness, we guide you

Ignorant of danger you run free

Any path you take,

repeat, again and again

will yield a trail

you will destine to take,

repeat, again and again

So, after some years and wisdom

you will fight in the wilderness

Fighting yourself to avoid

the well-worn trails to bad ends

Fighting brush and thistle

to path the good

Have hope

we will equip you with a hatchet

God has provided the compass

and though the wilderness remembers,

it eventually overtakes

any trail neglected long enough

So as you grow older and wiser,

cognizant of the danger,

Run free!
