When I Was A Child And They Burned Me Out Of My Home, I Was Frightened And I Ran Away. Eventually I Ran Far Away. It Was To A Place Called France. Many Of You Have Been There, And Many Have Not. But I Must Tell You, Ladies And Gentlemen, In That Country I Never Feared. It Was Like A Fairyland Place.
