To Be A Kid Again

To Be A Kid Again

Not having even one care

Only having toys to share

Thinking everything in life is fair

Oh, to be a kid again.

Not knowing things could go wrong

Only singing a happy song

Thinking my face could never grow long

Oh, to be a kid again.

Not caring what clothes to wear

Not worrying about my hair

Thinking that friends would always be there

Oh, to be a kid again.

Not caring about things others say

Only worrying about today

Not having tough things for which to pray

Oh, to be a kid again.

Not worrying about time

Thinking the best story was a Dr. Seuss rhyme

Not having major mountains to climb

Oh, to be a kid again.

Loving everyone in sight

Not knowing the world is really a fright

Looking mostly on the side that is bright

Oh, to be a kid again.

If only we would live like little kids do;

Knowing that love will always get us through

All of the things that we have to do.

Wouldn't life be better if everyone was a kid again?
