A boy needs woods when he's growing up
And open fields a stream ---
place to lie and look at the sky
On top of a hill and dream.
A boy needs freedom to roam the trails
That his own two feet have made,
To foster joyful adventuring
And a spirit unafraid.
A boy who's lucky enough to grow
Deep-rooted in nature's ways
Carries its lessons of peace and strength
Within him all of his days.
