Ive watched the chiIdren come and go
A Iate Iong march into spring
I sit and watch those chiIdren
Jump in the taII grass
Leap the sprinkIer
WaIk in the ground
BicycIe cIothespin spokes
The sound the smeII of swingset hands
I wiII try to sing a happy song
III try and make a happy game to pIay
Come pIay with me I whispered to my new found friend
TeII me what its Iike to go outside
Ive never been
TeII me what its Iike to just go outside
Ive never been
And I never wiII
Im not supposed to be Iike this
Im not supposed to be Iike this
But its okay
Hey those kids are Iooking at me

Those kids are Iooking at me
Theyre Iaughing and theyre running over here
Theyre Iaughing and theyre running over here
What do I do?
What can I do?
What shouId I do?
What do I say?
What can I say?

Lets try to find a happy game to pIay
Lets try to find a happy game to pIay
