Creature

Creature, creature in the woods
I come calling for your wisdom words
For here in nature I find true freedom
And you are a guide in my life

Lend me the answers to a few questions
Because I have fallen and don't understand
Help me so I can stand again
I'm not asking much of you, my creature friend

Please find grace to support my will
I won't be a burden to your time
And when I am standing on my own again
I will go away with you as a part of my soul
