Nature Boy
Will Martin Lyrics

There was a boy
This is the beginning of the story about a boy who was very special.

A very strange enchanted boy
The boy was unique and had a magical quality about him that made him stand out.

They say he wandered very far
Many people spoke about the boy and how he had traveled great distances.

Very far over land and sea
His travels had taken him across both land and water as he explored the world.

A little shy and sad of eye
Despite his magical qualities, the boy was somewhat introverted and had a sad expression in his eyes.

But very wise was he
The boy was exceptionally intelligent and had a great deal of wisdom in his thoughts and actions.

And then one day
One particular day, something special happened.

A magic day he passed my way
The day the boy crossed paths with the singer of this song was filled with a special kind of magic.

And while we spoke of many things
As they conversed, they discussed a wide variety of topics.

Fools and kings
Among the things they spoke about were people of all kinds, from the foolish to the powerful.

This he said to me
Then, amidst their conversation, the boy said something very profound to the singer.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
The boy offered his own personal insight about what was truly most important in life.

Is just to love and be loved in return
He emphasized that the most meaningful thing in life was to both give and receive love from others.

A little shy and sad of eye
As the story concludes, the boy's initial shyness and melancholy nature serve to emphasize the incredible wisdom he possessed.

But very wise was he
Ultimately, the boy's profound insights and unmatched wisdom were at the core of who he was as a person.
