We went on a road trip ...

What will you ride on?
I'll ride a snow-white pony!

Silver bridle, golden girth,

I will travel round the earth.

This is my rock

And here I run

To steal the secret of the sun.

Last night I saw you in the sky.

I watched you jumping from so high, ...

Yet here you are,

Quietly curling.  You are found

Upon this soft and sandy mound, 

Cooled by the spray, all safe and sound.

How bright on the blue 

Is a kite when it's new!

With a dive and a dip

It snaps its tail

Then soars like a ship

With only a sail ...

I must go to the seas again, for the call of the running tide,

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.
