If I'm scared, let me lose it
If I'm hungry, let me have it
If I'm cold, let my skin rise
If I'm wrong, let me learn it
If I'm grubby, let the dirt stay
If I'm tired, let me shut my eyes

I have dread and fear and light and laughter
I know there is an ever after
I'm eager and ready
It only hurts sometimes
I run to the future and jump

I run to the future and jump

If I'm hurt, let me feel it
If I'm sad, let the tears run
And if I'm stupid, let me be that way
And if I'm bored, let me show it
And if I'm bad, let me be it
If I'm sure, let me have my say

I have dread and fear and light and laughter
I know there is an ever after
I'm eager and ready
It only hurts sometimes
I run to the future and jump

I run to the future and jump
I run to the future and jump
