And the dream is running through the forest trying to stay alive
Hungry when cold
And he comes, he comes to this little hut, and he knocks on the door
A little woman comes out
He says, "Do you have anything for me?"
And the lady says you know look
I don't have any food already made, but here is some lentils and here is some rice
Please cook them yourself
And he comes, he comes to this little hut, and he knocks on the door
A little woman comes out and
He says, "Do you have anything for me?"
(See he takes his little pot and he puts his lentils and his rice in there and he puts some water)
And the lady says you know look, I don't have any food already made
But here is some lentils and here is some rice, please cook them yourself
(It's a very very simple)
You know I can help you that way
And finally he's ready and he takes and he sits and with a little plate he made out of the leaves
See he takes his little pot and he puts his lentils and his rice in there
And he puts some water in there and starts cooking and it takes a long time
The wood's really wet and smoking, and it's-it's very, very agonizing
And finally it's ready and he takes and he puts it on a plate he has made out of the leaves
