I found a snail
By the crick
I took it and held it tight
Up the crick
I and it
On a lovely daytime hike
But in my hands
The shell had broke
If only I knew it could be so frail
So I dropped it
in the crick and said
Let the current take the snail
So let this be
A lesson to you
'Bout friends you hold so dear
Let them go
For you might break
Their shells if you hold them too near
Yes people too
Just like the snail
Can be rather frail
I say to you
Just let them go
Let the current take the snail
