Little Child



Cry little child … yet you don't know why
Crawl, walk, run … but you cannot fly
Mumble … speakwrite on the walls
Scream … fight … slam shut the door

Hug … kiss … heart skips a beat
Sad … broken … get on your feet
Scared … trust … take a second chance
Smile … Love … cuddle to the dance

Cry grown up child … now the day has come
Yes … yes … now two become one
Passion … play … a night to remember
Rub … kick … April to December

Boy … Girl … what will you be
Pain … joy … two become three
Small … fragilegreet with a cry
Cry little child … yet you don't know why
