today if you hear him skipping rocks on the river laughing in the garden like when you were young today if you hear him walking through the pine woods racing down the big hill calling you to come don t be too grown oh for your own sake let the children come let us become like children today today if you hear him let your feet take off running don t worry who is watching let him kiss you on the face don t be too grown oh for your own sake let the children come let us become like children today let the children come let us become like children today
