Follow me through the wooded tree,
across the stream, follow my path

Follow me over the hills,
through the swamps, follow my footprints

Follow me across the rocks,
the bumpy roads, with leaps and bounds, follow my destiny

Follow me everywhere,
stay by my side and stay in my footsteps, and I will reach behind and take your hand in mine.

The author's comments:
This piece explores the mind of the so-called "leader", who only wishes for others to be by his/her side. It shows that even leaders are followers as well: they cannot lead if others do not follow.
