I Am Child

We are young, free to fly
Ready to play, not to die
Able to do whatever we please
Climbing, swinging in the trees
We are sweet, we are wild
I am innocent, I am child

We are love, we will grow
I am smart, I will know
We are good, we are bad
I needed and I had
We have frowned, we have smiled
We are spring, I am child

I will sing my favourite song
I will learn right from wrong
Meeting friends, keep for life
Meet the girl, to make the wife
No worries are compiled
Because I am chlid
