Not all who wander are lost, and not all who are lost wander. PLEASE R&R!
Wander a little bit closer, dear,
Step one, two, three, four.
Wander a little bit closer, dear,
Do you see that open door?

The hinges are a little rusty, dear,
Never mind the draft it lets in.
There's happiness behind it, dear,
You'll surely find yourself within.

Wander a little bit closer, dear,
You've been wandering for some time now.
Wander a little bit closer, dear,
It'll all be okay if you allow.

Breathe in that fresh air, dear,
Never mind your racing heart.
Stop your gasping for air, dear,
You can't go back to your start.

Wandering a little farther, dear?
Your heart is slowing, it doesn't make sense.
Wandering a little farther, dear?
You'll hurt yourself if you jump that fence.

Come back, fair wanderer,
You're sure to become lost.
Come back, fair wanderer,
You don't want to pay that cost.

Bear your sword, dear wanderer,
You'll need it for the times ahead.
Grab your shield, fair wanderer,
It's your turn to follow where you've led.

Come back soon, dear,
We'll miss you if you're gone for long.
Bring your heart with you, dear,
We've missed it's beautiful song.
