Wide eyes, bright smiles
Giggles for miles
It’s unexpected
But I’m infected
Their wills are stronger
Their screams are longer
Their grips are tighter
But their steps are lighter
Why can’t we just take a break and play?
Let’s all give ourselves one day, to
Celebrate and laugh and cry
And change our minds one thousand times
Let’s forget the walls that are instilled in
Us and let’s be more like children
Innocent and raw and brave
And different in as many ways
As the stars above will always vary
But they’re still all so bright and merry
Big hugs, deep frowns
Regular breakdowns
Sweet thoughts, expressions
Some strange suggestions
Desire to learn and grow
To just be in the know
To just be in the now
To oink and bark and meow
Why can’t we just take a break and play?
Let’s all give ourselves one day, to
Celebrate and laugh and cry
And change our minds one thousand times
Let’s forget the walls that are instilled in
Us and let’s be more like children
Innocent and raw and brave
And different in as many ways
As the stars above will always vary
But they’re still all so bright and merry
Thoughtful and honest
Futures are promised
They’re weird and silly
And wise, so really
If you think childish is an insult
Then you’ve never met a child
And the idea that we can learn a thing or two from babies is far from wild
And sure we learn and grow and change because they do that every day
But for all the things we gain we also lose some things along the way
Why can’t we just take a break and play?
Let’s all give ourselves one day, to
Celebrate and laugh and cry
And change our minds one thousand times
Let’s forget the walls that are instilled in
Us and let’s be more like children
Innocent and raw and brave
And different in as many ways
As the stars above will always vary
But they’re still all so bright and merry
