Now let us take a walk through the pine forest
Through the shed which the forest provides
Through the pathway where the leaves form a cushion
Through the place where the squirrels make an abode
And the darkness of the shrubs a shed from the noon
Come let us take a walk through the lands where wheat grow
Where our eyes will meet the wonders of mother Nature,
Through the lands where fine green forests stay
Through gardens of tulips and roses and the Jacaranda
And where the streams flow towards the estuary
Let us take a walk through lands where men keep flowers
And when they blossom they pick them for the ladies
And the happy ladies dance to the love of the men
And when they dance they turn to smile showing fine teeth
Hoping for more flowers as they twist and turn
Come let us take a walk through my minds eyes
Let us write a story of our very own imaginations
Let us walk the path which no other human ever walked
Come let us give life to stories of lands far away
And lands where the sun rise with her golden entourage
Let us take a walk through the fields called love
And drink of the elixir which heals all pains
Let us take a walk through Gods word and grace
Through sincerity and purpose, through care and humanity
And hope that planes drop cucumbers and not bombs!
Come let us take a walk through fields of wheat
Let us gather the snails and slugs with a rake
Let us make fun of the things which stay around
And when the nights come to our moments
Let us sit to warm ourselves on a fire on the field
