Bag of Secrets
One day when I was walking
Amongst the forests green
I came upon a wise man
All the world he'd seen
So I asked him for a secret
That would set the stars alight
And he looked me in the eye
And said, "I will teach you true delight."
From the bag at his feet
He drew a long-stemmed pipe
Lit it with a fingertip
And winked one blue, blue eye.
"My dear," He said to me,
with tongue as good as golden
"There is no secret I don't know
But my head's too small to hold'em!"
"So in my bag my secrets lie
If you're brave enough to look,
And if you want to catch a good one
You must make yourself a hook!"
With naught but my two hands
And a thread and a smile
I made myself a hook of song
To catch that secret in style.
The old man, he laughed at me
My cleverness impressed him
And the bag at his feet was opened wide
And I couldn't help but dive right in!
Secrets big and secrets small
They swam all around me
And out came my hook
And away they went, slippery as can be.
One little secret
Was all I caught
But it was the best one
When secrets you seek
A song and a smile
Will bring you the the most fun!
