laying in bed laughing at all
cause they have to get up and face the world
you think its easy untill you get up
and face the facts things have to be done
washing dishes
moping floors
all so tired but done it all
mum comes home the house is clean
all but one thing
the child is missing
were has she gone
shes sound asleep in her bed
just like mum said
