Story of Hans, So Bold and Free
As the moon casts shadows 'neath the old oak tree
A tale of luck, and of living carefree
In a quaint town, under the sun's bright beam
Hans traded gold for a horse, or so it would seem
"A horse for gold, what a steal!" he declared
But when he fell off, he seemed less prepared
Swapped the horse for a cow, but alas, no milk
"Hans, you've been duped," said the town's ilk
Oh Hans, you jester of fate
Trading down, thinking it's great
With each swap, your laughter grows
A simpleton's tale, the whole village knows
From cow to pig, then pigs to stones
His trading saga, met with groans
Yet, Hans's grin never did fade
Even as his fortunes swayed
The stones, to water, they did plunge
Hans laughed it off, felt like a sponge
Oh Hans, our jester of fate
Trading down, thinking it's great
With each swap, your joy just grows
A simpleton's legend, the whole village knows
Light as a feather, free as the air
Hans boasted, without a single care
Back to his roots, empty-handed but bold
No burdens to bear, no wealth to hold
His heart so light, his spirit so free
In simplicity, his soul found glee
So here's to Hans, with his heart so wide
In the simplest life, his joy resides
For burdens lie in the wealth we chase
But in simplicity, Hans found his grace
Hail Hans, the wisest fool we know
Taught us that letting go is how we grow
Joy's outshining the sun's own ray
What we own too heavy, in the end, we say
Here's to Hans, living free
In simplicity, he found the key
With a laugh and a shrug, Hans leads the way
A simple, joyful heart, in a world astray
In legends past, his name we'll cherish
Hans, ever light, his joy won't perish
Bravo, Hans, the sage in a fool's guise
His story shows that letting go is wise
With a laugh and a shrug, Hans leads the way
A simple, joyful heart, in a world astray
Hey! Dance away, under the moon's soft gleam
Hans's tale, a living dream
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Laugh and leap, to the rhythm so sweet
Hans's journey, with every beat
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Story of Hans, So Bold and Free

A tale of luck, and of living carefree
