“I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream

I can tell by the marks he left, you were in his dream

Ah child of countless trees, ah child of boundless seas

What you are, what you are meant to be

Speaks his name, though you were born to me

Born to me, Cassidy…"

(Bob Weir - Cassidy)
