What should we become -- 

a child is a simple thing

(and we cannot understand them)

a child is a free thing

(and yet we try to tie them down)

a child is many things

(all ideas and questions spinning round)

a child is a changing thing

(accepting and rejecting things quicker than a wink)

a child is what we no longer are

(and what we shall never be again)

UNLESS

we become

a simple thing

a free thing

a changing thing

all ideas and questioning

spining this world around.
