SONG FOR FOREST by K. Dennis

He was a live wire
Throwing sparks of light
Burned up the backyard once
A kid just gone awry

He had an energy
Touched with fire and light
Making everyone
Feel more alive

He had the kind of laugh
Was better than the joke
And he wouldn't wear
Anybody's yoke

He had an energy
Touched with fire and light
Making everyone
Feel more alive

Forest knew what to do with crazy
Powered it with love and curiousity
Forest knew what to do with crazy
Standing at the front
Saying "Let's have fun, follow me!"

He was a live wire
Throwing sparks of light
Burned up the backyard once
Experiment gone awry

He had an energy
Touched with fire and light
Making everyone
Charged and more alive

Forest knew what to do with crazy
Powered it with love and curiousity
Forest knew what to do with crazy
Standing at the front
Saying "Let's have fun, follow me!"

Forest knew what to do with crazy
Everybody's got to sing his song
Forest knew what to do with crazy
Everybody's got to carry him on...
