If we had known
That running away was just the same
As staying, we would have prayed.
We would have prayed for guidance
But we did not know
And so we packed hurriedly
Grabbed all we could take
Believing that there was not enough time
Thoughts of the ogre left behind
At the bottom of the bed
Filled us with a courage not felt before
But we now know
That wherever we go the ogre follows
Until we slay him.
If only we had known.
