If I Were a Kid Again

I would love to be a kid again.

If I were a kid again-

I’d chase all the boys
Instead of them chasing me.
And I’d have lots of scrapes and cuts
From Grandma’s climbing tree.

I would be the kickball star
That I know I could’ve been.
And I would always get picked first-
If I were a kid again,

If I were a kid again-

I would never wear my snowpants.
Or my gloves, or even my hat.
I would be soaked with my little pink nose-
Ah, imagine that!

I know my smile would never stop
Nor my laugh cease to begin.
And I would always live in Bliss-
If I were a kid again.
