I ran into the devil
Who was just, hanging around
He needed a little sunshine
It was me the devil found
He asked me “Where you going?”
I replied I didn't know
“But if you wanna walk with me
Just follow where I go”
We walked across the meadows
Many rivers we would cross
The sun above had brightened
And it slowly followed us
We reached a mountain where I said
“We'll climb this mountain high”
The devil he just laughed and said
“I haven't wings to fly”
With distant steps behind me
My new friend stopped to say
“I can't go any further, as I've kinda lost my way”
I gave my friend a smile. Took another step or two
Then turned to him and said “Oh well… I guess I'll follow you”
