But, not a cow, I opened the unlocked gate years ago
Running and rolling and reveling in the sun-drenched field beyond
Gorging myself on the forbidden fruits of other fields
 … that sweet, sweet clover … 

Over the years the cow stuck in its field learned some things
Loyalty, friendship, security
Love, serenity, family, trust
 … such limited experience … 

Not a cow has experienced so much more
Being lost, being alone, being discovered
Abandonment, detention, fear and loathing
 … the edge of excitement … 

I don’t know if I forgot how to get back
Or if I locked the gate behind me when I left
To taste the world
 … to learn the secrets … 

I think I would have been a better man if God had made me a cow
If I could just stick my head back through that fence
To sample that treat beyond my reach 
 … Home …
