On his way
From Edo Bay

Hat
On his back
String of fish
In one hand

Lighter than air
He strides the road

There is
Time enough
For the lord on the hill

The ramshackle hut
Flea infested rooms
Its utterly miserable
Piece of ground

At least for now
The sky is blue
The sea
Has been kind

Free and alone
Akio is happy

And which of us
Would stop him

Freedom is a blessed state of being and people like Akio do not fear hardship to obtain it.

Very touching.
