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
