I WAS LITTLE MORE THAN A LAD

 

I was little more than a lad

And my hometown lay behind me

But I didn’t walk the road

As a lad for very long,

I quickly became a man

So I walked for many years

And for many miles

In country and in town

Working in the sweet-smelling fields

And the foul odorous cities

But I wandered tall and proud

Now the road lead me home

And the path breathes life

Into my wistful heart
