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,

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
