I’ve jumped every hurdle
I’ve sailed every sea
I’ve run every marathon.
So, why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
I’m a toddler
All over
Again?
All over,
All over,
Again.
I’ve dealt with the summer
With the autumn and spring
Far too soon for the winter,
So, why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
I’m a toddler
All over
Again?
All over,
All over,
Again.
Seen bellies of canyons.
Seen snowcapped mountain peaks.
Seen corals and starfish.
So, why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
I’m a toddler
All over
Again?
All over,
All over,
Again.
There’s silver in my beard.
My life, I’ve half lived.
My face’s lined by crowsfeet.
So, why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
I’m a toddler
All over
Again?
All over,
All over,
Again.
