I heard a story Some time ago Of an Elephant Powerful and Wise And a String Thin as a hair But the Elephant Was not always Powerful Nor Wise And the String had begun As an Iron Chain From birth the Elephant Strained and struggled Against the Iron Chain But always failed To be free of it Then came the day The Elephant gave up And tried no more Not long after The Iron Chain Shriveled into String And til this day That Elephant Who grew to be Powerful And Wise Is held back By a frail and weak Piece of String

A Piece of String
I heard a story Some time ago Of an Elephant Powerful and Wise And a String Thin as a hair But the Elephant Was not always Powerful Nor Wise And the String had begun As an Iron Chain From birth the Elephant Strained and struggled Against the Iron Chain But always failed To be free of it Then came the day The Elephant gave up And tried no more Not long after The Iron Chain Shriveled into String And til this day That Elephant Who grew to be Powerful And Wise Is held back By a frail and weak Piece of String
What hold you back?
