Oh, to be young again!
Remember what life was like
when we were little kids?
Green grass, blue skies...
Rolling down hills, chasing
butterflies through meadows of daisies...
I want to ride the merry-go-round
and get cotton candy all over my face
I want to run around barefoot
in the grass
and through sprinklers
I want to have an imaginary
friend and believe in the tooth fairy
I want to swing on the swing
set, play in the sandbox, and slide down the slide
I want to climb trees
I want my 
cone to melt all over my hands
and I want to get messy and
play in the mud
I want to jump around in the
rain and splash in puddles
I want to paint pictures with
my fingers
and make snow angels
I want to play with playdough
and color outside the lines
I want to paint beautiful
pictures of innocence
I want to wear overalls and
sundresses
I want to dance on my toes
I want to be free
I want to sit on a lap and
read a story
I want to play make-believe
I want someone to tie my shoes
for me
and I want to be happy and
naïve
I want a band-aid to dry my
tears
and I want somebody to hold
my hand when I cross the street
I want to believe in magic,
miracles and fantasy lands
and in the power of a hug
I want to be full of spirit
and full of love
and I want to play all day
I want to sing and laugh
and I want to
I never want to grow up
