Nature Boy
Lizz Wright Lyrics

There was a boy
This song begins by telling a story about a mysterious boy.

A very strange
This boy was unusual or different in some way.

Enchanted boy
He seemed to have an otherworldly quality or something magical about him.

They say he wandered
There are rumors or stories about the boy's travels.

Very far, very far
He had gone on a long journey over great distances.

Over land and sea
He had traveled across different types of terrain, including oceans and continents.

A little shy
The boy was somewhat timid or reserved.

And sad of eye
Despite his magical qualities and extensive travels, the boy seemed to be carrying some sadness or pain.

But very wise was he
Despite his youth, the boy had great wisdom or knowledge to share.

And then one day
At some point in time, the boy met the person speaking in the song.

A magic day
This meeting was a special or remarkable event.

He passed my way
The boy crossed paths with the artist of the song.

And while we spoke
As they talked together,

Of many things
They discussed a variety of topics or ideas.

Fools and kings
Their conversation may have covered topics ranging from simple to complex.

This he said to me
At some point, the boy shared a specific piece of wisdom or guidance with the artist of the song.

The greatest thing
This wisdom was about the most important thing in life.

You'll ever learn
This is the most significant lesson anyone can learn.

Is just to love
The key to a fulfilling life is to give and receive love.

And be loved in return
To truly experience the fullness of love, we must also be open to receiving love from others.
