If I'm scared let me lose it

If I'm hungry let me have it

If I'm cold let my skin rise

If I'm wrong let me learn it

If I'm grubby let the dirt stay

If I'm tired let me shut my eyes

I have dread and fear and light and laughter

I know there is an ever after

I'm eager and ready

It only hurts sometimes

I run to the future and jump

If I'm hurt let me feel it

If I'm sad let the tears run

If I'm stupid let me be that way

And if I'm bored let me show it

And if I'm bad let me be it

If I'm sure let me have my say

I have dread and fear and light and laughter

I know there is an ever after

I'm eager and ready

It only hurts sometimes

I run to the future and jump
