Lyrics
Has the world grown so old,
There’s no more surprise?
Or did you hide away inside
And close your min
And shut your eyes?
Did you forget that ev’ry day
Is wonderful and new?
Look at ev’rything
The way you used to do. And

CHORUS
Be a child and run out to play.
Don’t mind it
If the grown-up children laugh,
And they may!
It’s fun to paint your dreams
And go find your special hill,
And you will.
Why not look today?
So, be a child,
You’ll grow up too soon.
It may seem long,
But youth is just a brief afternoon.
So, hold it close,
This wonderful time of May.
Oh, there’s so much
To reach and touch,
So, be a child today.
