Abbey Lincoln

Nature Boy

Abbey Lincoln


There was a boy, 
A very strange, rejected boy, 
They said he wandered very far, very far, 
Over lands and sea, 
A little shy 
And sad of eyes, 
But very wise was he. 
And then one day 
A magic day he passed my way 
And we spoke of many things 
Fulls and kings 
And this said to me: 
"The greatest thing 
You ever learn 
It's just to love 
And belove in return".
