As I lay wondering,

The future it would bring,

The meaning of life,

The meaning of a fufillment.

One day I met a wise old man

Who was sitting in the park

And there upon the bench with him

We talked 'till early dark

He told me of his travels

To a far off distant land

Where the secret meaning of our lives

Was taught to him first hand

I listened to his story

Amazed by what he said

The simple truth of which he spoke

Was knowledge not widespread

In great detail he did explain

What life was all about

And how the answer we do seek

We don't have to be without

There was something in his message

That I could not reject

A wisdom that I understood

So simple and direct

My life forever has been changed

By the words I heard that day

A concept old as life itself

And by far the one true way

An answer to the question why

And the reason we exist

Solutions I would not now know

If my walk that day was missed
