In a far – far away world, stranger than fiction,

Where absolute permanent peace rules in the land,

Where there is no quarrel and there is no friction

And where such things as war no one can understand;

Creatures talk to the plants and the plants answer back,

Love is on a high level, eternal, sublime

And nobody ever suffers any setback.

Lifetime is a long time, no disease and no crime,

And there is just one reason, you must understand,

Why everything is so absolutely perfect:

There are only two creatures living on that land,

A creature called Cryck and his plant he won’t neglect.
