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
