I need a jacket
And I need some pants
And I need some music
So that I can dance.
I’ll take a book
So that I can learn
And share what I know
With those who yearn.
I’ll bring some boots
To support my feet
And an open mind
Towards those I might meet.
And I’ll wear a hat
To block out from my eyes
Rays from that sun
That shine down from blue skies.
Hoof prints will guide me
Up the steep incline
‘Til they give way to those
Shoes have left behind.
And up at the top
Maybe I’ll find a friend
Someone to chat with
With a hand to lend.
Or maybe just me
And the birds and the trees
With the city below
And a cool mountain breeze.
