X marks the spot

 

It is where it all started 

Probably going to end there as well 

A place that has always been difficult to be found 

But where you look at the ground 

Thinking of something profound 

Or maybe you see it and just go around 

It is sometimes a place not well known 

Or where all the trees have overgrown 

Possibly a place just to stand and wait 

Or perhaps it could be a trap

 

But if you see it on your cat you collapse 

Or even have a heart attack 

Always exciting to see on a treasure map 

If you find something you will likely clap

Then you will finally be able to relax

Feeling joy to the max

But no matter what 

Remember that X marks the spot
