Wanderer's LamentI often been askedHave I ever seen the worldTo which, without fail, I always replyI have seen many thingsI have seen many thingsI have seen all the townsAnd found nothing newI have seen stars in the skyAs they withered and diedI have seen many thingsI have witnessed the fallOf forests so greatAnd watched oceans take overThe rivers and lakesI have seen many thingsI have sat upon hilltopsAnd watched the world sleepI have climbed upon mountains To see life wither in defeatOh, I have seen so many thingsBut I have never seen the world
StandingAs I spent my days in sunWalking through the treesI spotted a dear friend of mineStuck in softest breezeFloating through the draftHe thought about his fateTime rushed past in daylights graspBut all he did was waitIn all my years I cannot sayI've seen more patient actsStuck in place against the worldDreading modern factCities start to rise and fallHuman kind did growBut still my dear old friend stayedWith no other place to goI left him standing Then saw him fallNo fight against human rightNo tree ever stood so tall
