Where Are You Going, Little Boy?

Where are you going, little boy full of fun

I’m going to wade where the little brooks run

Where are you going boy, brave with mischief?

I’m going to chase the wind chasing the leaf

Where are you going, boy of eager grin?

I’m going to explore the day I am in

Where are you going, my dear, dashing fellow?

I’m going to splash in the morning so yellow

Where are you going, so carefree it seems?

I’m going to sail on a sea made of dreams

Where are you going and how, little lad?

I’m going to play with my puppy, dad

Where are you going, dear son, full of plan?

Why, I’m on my way to becoming a man
