Every once
In a while
I’ll pretend that I’m a child.
I’ll sing lots of silly songs
And all my friends, they’ll sing along.
About fun
About joy
About girls and about boys
And we’ll run, and we’ll hide
And we’ll watch TV inside
And I’ll look
And I’ll see the place we’ve built
That surrounds me
Look right now
Let’s just say
I’m a child for today
And we’ll play, in the sun
And at least she’ll have her fun.
Different worlds
All apart
See her emotion that it start
There’s a million things to do
And we’ll learn the whole way through.
And I’ll look
And I’ll see the place we’ve been that surrounds me
Let me say
It’s okay to be a child for everyday
Join us now
As we sing in a song with harmony
Let’s be kind
So we can find the perfect balance of our minds
Let me say
It’s okay, for at least a day
(whispered)
Lay outside
Gather round
Listen to the cricket sound
Feel the freedom in the night
Look at all those plants and trees
(end whispering)
Then in bed
Read a tale
Without persistence, never fail.
When you wake with a light,
Cast your troubles out of sight.
And I’ll look,
And I’ll see the place we’ve built
That surrounds me.
Let me say
It’s okay to be a child for everyday.
Join us now
As we sing
In a song with harmony.
Let’s be kind
So we can find
The perfect balance of our minds.
Let me say
It’s okay
For at least a-
Watching the people
Imagine a world that
Is done with
A smile on
Its face
