In a place full of
darkness
giving gales of good
laughter
she wants to be with them,
but she's not what they're
after
Then a smile comes gladly
along,
picks her up gently and
carries her
to a place without
darkness,
a place full of love,
sweet gladness
One day you're here,
playing away,
painting with paints and
laughing the day.
The next you are gone,
alone and confused
you thought you had
friends, but you were just used.
Then the day comes and you
turn around
you see yourself in a big
fluffy cloud,
you laugh as you see a
parade in the sky,
and you notice how quickly
are the days passing by
You hurry home and open
the door
there is your brother,
right on the floor.
Painting with paints and
laughing away
you smile as you hear him
say,
"come play with me
sister,
As you sit down you see
his big smile
Growing up is so hard, as
you very well know,
but to play as a child,
just for fun when you're grown,
It's the best thing on
earth!
oh wouldn't it be
wonderful, if inside
Home
She sits all alone
A face in the crowd
In a place full of darkness
Where she's not allowed
They come to a fro
giving gales of good laughter
she wants to be with them,
but she's not what they're after
Then a smile comes gladly along,
picks her up gently and carries her
home,
to a place without darkness,
no temptations or fear,
a place full of love, sweet gladness
and cheer.
Growing Up
One day you're here, playing away,
painting with paints and laughing the day.
The next you are gone, alone and confused
you thought you had friends, but you were just used.
Then the day comes and you turn around
you see yourself in a big fluffy cloud,
you laugh as you see a parade in the sky,
and you notice how quickly are the days passing by
You hurry home and open the door
there is your brother, right on the floor.
Painting with paints and laughing away
you smile as you hear him say,
"come play with me sister,
just a little while"
As you sit down you see his big smile
Growing up is so hard, as you very well know,
but to play as a child, just for fun when you're
grown,
It's the best thing on earth!
No competition at all
oh wouldn't it be wonderful, if inside
we were still small?
