Nature Boy
Enchanted Wisdom: Embracing the Greatest Lesson of Love
Lyrics
There was a boy
Introduction of the boy, setting the stage for the narrative.
A very strange enchanted boy
Describing the boy as mysterious and enchanting.
They say he wandered very far, very far
Highlighting the boy's extensive travels over great distances.
Over land and sea
Emphasizing the vastness of the boy's journey over both land and sea.
A little shy and sad of eye
Portraying the boy as reserved and sorrowful in expression.
But very wise was he
Contrasting the boy's shyness with his profound wisdom.
And then one day
Introducing a specific encounter between the narrator and the boy.
One magic day, he passed my way
Highlighting the magical nature of the encounter.
And while we spoke of many things
Recalling a conversation covering a wide range of topics.
Fools and kings
Mentioning "Fools and kings," representing diverse aspects of life.
This he said to me
Quoting the boy's words spoken during the conversation.
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Initiating a quote by the boy about a profound life lesson.
Is just to love and be loved in return"
The boy's wisdom: "The greatest thing is to love and be loved in return."
And then one day
Repetition of the earlier encounter, possibly to emphasize its significance.
One magic day, he passed my way
Reiteration of the magical aspect of the encounter.
And while we spoke of many things
Recollection of another conversation covering various topics.
Fools and kings
Referring again to "Fools and kings" as themes in the conversation.
This he said to me
Quoting the boy's reiterated wisdom.
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Repetition of the boy's key lesson: "The greatest thing is to love and be loved in return."
Is just to love and be loved in return"
Reiteration of the profound message encapsulated in the boy's words.
