Days of Jibatigon
The Little Boy of the Forest
Looks out upon the lake
He hears nature’s chorus
Sing that this world is his to take
He remembered those from before
From the early days of Jibatigon
When in the sky you could see an eagle soar
But those days are now gone
The Little Boy of the Forest
Looks out upon the lake
He hears nature’s chorus
Sing that this world is his to take
He recalled his own ancestry
From the time of the great steamships
He remembered all in his family tree
Holding onto a chain where time slips
The Little Boy of the Forest
Looks out upon the lake
He hears nature’s chorus
Sing that this world is his to take
They have all forgotten him
No tales about him do they boast
They have all forsaken him
And think of him as a ghost
The Little Boy of the Forest
Looks out upon the lake
He hears nature’s chorus
Sing that this world is his to take
He wonders why Nature makes this claim
From this world he sees no evidence
That anybody even remembers his name
He was lost long ago and been gone ever since
The Little Boy of the Forest
Looks out upon the lake
He hears nature’s chorus
Sing that this world is his to take
He had not given up on any of them
He still holds them dear to his heart
Each of them to him a precious gem
Each in his life played an important part
The Little Boy of the Forest
Looks out upon the lake
He hears nature’s chorus
Sing that this world is his to take
Now he sees that things will change
Now that the century has come to an end
Now everything will be rearranged
And his wounds will finally mend
The Little Boy of the Forest
Looks out upon the lake
He hears nature’s chorus
Sing that this world is his to take.
