She went to the hills
And into the mountains
And she laid a path of coin
To find her way home
She grew hungry and tired
But she so wanted to be free
That she continued along the path
She heard footsteps behind her
So she turned around
And she met the eyes of a spotted cat
The cat looked at her and she looked at it
And it said to her, "Look at you, all sorry and sweet.
I'll catch you a meal to eat."
So the cat with the spots went off in the trees
And it came back with meat, all covered in blood
And she ate with her hands
And it ate with sharp teeth
She said to the cat, "Where should I go?"
And the cat licked its face and it smiled at her
Said, "It doesn't matter where you go,
as long as you keep going. Never lose faith or you'll
never be free."
