I heard Walt’s song…

I heard Walt’s song, and I wondered
Why can’t I write something like this?
Why can’t I invent a new language?
Why can’t I cooperate with the Cosmos?
To compose a Song of Man
To compose a humble man’s song

I heard Walt’s song, and I wondered
How can I write something like this?
How can I invent a new language?
How can I cooperate with the Cosmos?
To compose a Song of Man
To compose a humble man’s song

I heard Walt’s song, and I wondered
Where can I write something like this?
Where can I invent a new language?
Where can I cooperate with the Cosmos?
To compose a Song of Man
To compose a humble man’s song

I heard Walt’s song and I wondered
When will I write something like this?
When will I invent a new language?
When will I cooperate with the Cosmos?
To compose a Song of Woman
To compose my humble woman’s song

I heard Walt’s song…
