In my path a forest
All I see is trees
All I see is darkness
As I walk beneath
Who knows what’s beyond
At some point a mountain
Searching and I’m thirsty
Youth is but a fountain
Path is far behind me
There below the boughs
Sunlight flickers through them
Find my way somehow
Somewhere beyond the branches
The sunshine touches earth
Searching for that place
The fountain of my birth
I was born in sunlight
Somewhere along the way
I wandered through the thicket
And lost the light of day
For now I’m in the shadows
Feeling oh so cold
Thirsting for some sunlight
Parched and feeling old
From the woods a clearing
A stream in the hollow
Drink it in my body
Revived and young I swallow
Now my thirst is quenched
By the water I was made
I sit there by the tree line
Thankful for the shade
