|
I've watched the children come and go
|
A late long march into spring
|
I sit and watch those children
|
Jump in the tall grass
|
Leap the sprinkler
|
Walk in the ground
|
Bicycle clothespin spokes
|
The sound the smell of swingset hands
|
|
I will try to sing a happy song
|
I'll try and make a happy game to play
|
Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend
|
Tell me what it's like to go outside
|
I've never been
|
Tell me what it's like to just go outside
|
I've never been
|
And I never will
|
|
I'm not supposed to be like this
|
I'm not supposed to be like this
|
But it's okay
|
|
Hey, those kids are looking at me
|
I told my friend myself
|
Those kids are looking at me
|
They're laughing and they're running over here
|
They're laughing and they're running over here
|
What do I do?
|
What can I do?
|
What should I do?
|
What do I say?
|
What can I say?
|
|
I said I'm not supposed to be like this
|
Let's try to find a happy game to play
|
Let's try to find a happy game to play
|
I'm not supposed to be like this
|
But it's okay, okay
