I've watched the children come and go
A2 Em
A late long march into spring
A2 Em
I sit and watch those children
A2
Jump in the tall grass
Em
Leap the sprinkler
A2
Walk in the ground
Em A2
Bicycle clothespin spokes
Em A2
The sound the smell of swingset hands
D (Riff)
I will try to sing a happy song
D (Riff)
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 no 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
