Child Song

I’m a hero. I’m an angel. I’m a monster too
On the playground I’m a leader. We go two by two
The color green feels so clean to my eye
I think I’ll use it for the sky

I have daydreams. I have nightmares. I don’t know what’s real
Everyday I learn a new word, a new way to feel
Teacher says I’m shy and I don’t get along
But I feel fine like I belong

The other kids do like to tease
Big people I just try to please
I think they really count on me
‘cause they keep asking what I’ll be
I am just me

I make wishes. I draw pictures. I write stories too
Make-believing is my favorite thing to do
I know the rules to all the games that we play
But I like my rules just the same

The other kids do like to tease
Big people I just try to please
I think they really count on me
‘cause they keep asking what I’ll be
I am just me
I am just me
I am just me
