I decided to go out to play Was it night or was it day? I couldn’t say Or rather only That the world was empty And I was lonely I saw some new friends on the swings I wished I could have sprouted wings We sailed away, across the void Over a sea that was grouchy and annoyed When I saw a whale looking at me later that day He assured me confidently “yes, you’re going the right way Look for the lighthouse to show you the way” He said as he dived and swam away We chased the woolly clouds along And felt so glad the wind was strong Was it freedom we would reach When we landed on the beach? So we frolicked on the mossy green Hills by the sea And we laughed and we played And we danced with glee And though we climbed, and flew down from the tallest tree I still somehow felt That I wasn’t quite free.
