Walking in the woods
I've been here for so long
I can't recognise the trees around me
I think I'm lost
Every bush looks the same
I cant tell if it's because of the dark
"Leave before it's too late"
The wind barks
I know i should be scared
But now I'm too deep in
The bitter growls of the tiger
Sweet songs of crickets
They warn me of the danger
But the forest knows me too well
I can't help getting lured in deeper
I keep walking further
Although now my feet hurt
The light of the stars leave my side
Those traitors!
I am now left all alone
But Oh! How can I complain
The forest keeps me sane
The grass on the cold floor
Prickles my bare feet
But the gorgeous woods apologise
Who cares about the pain!
As I walk, keep moving ahead
All the other sounds, the warnings fade
I feel a little sad, Do I wanna go back?
But just as I start questioning
The forest helps me
"It's alright, I can be all you need"
Look how it cares for me!
I was, maybe hesitant at first
But the woods gave me the warmest hug
The evil that wants to take me back
Must be searching for me
But as i hold hands with such a lovely forest
I know there's no way they'll ever find me
