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
  And 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
