Two Wolves



                                               When I was just a little boy
                                                    Much to my delight

                                         I’ll always remember Grandpa’s stories

                                            Round the campfire late at night


                                              He’d tell us bout the old days
                                              And the way things used to be

                                              Bout his life out on the range
                                              And the sights he used to see


                                         As the firelight danced its amber glow

                                              When the sun was going down
                                          The moon on high in the western sky

                                          Round the campfire, miles from town.


                                               But I'll never forget this one
                                                  I know this story’s true

                                            “Two Wolves” he called it proudly

                                                 I’ll share this tale with you


                                              His voice was calm and quiet,
                                                Like a whisper in the wind

                                          He spoke of Wolves in the mountains
                                             And the Wolves we had within


                                        He said there’s two Wolves inside of him

                                                 Both fighting hard to win
                                                One Wolf is mean and evil

                                             Full of hatred and greed, and sin
