 PIGLET’S SONG

Let's find a Way today,

that can take us to tomorrow.
We'll follow that Way,
A Way like flowing water.

The sun is high, the road is wide,

and it starts where we are standing.
No one knows how far it goes,
for the road is never-ending.
It goes away,
beyond what we have thought of.
It flows away,
Away like flowing water.
