As the rain poured outside our tent
And the lightening flashed brilliantly
I wasn't scared to ask that boy:
"Who are you?"
He replied:
"I hope to be your friend!"
At this I jumped up and sat beside him
I answered and said with a smile:
"Looks like you already are!"
He then asked me:
"Why are you here?"
I replied:
"To find out how long and far
This path goes. I happened to
Find it yesterday and I've
Been traveling here since then!"
This time he didn't reply
He was busy writing in a notebook
So I asked:
"What are you writing?"
His reply was:
"Songs."
I replied:
"So you're a songwriter?"
He said:
"Yeah!"
