We were chasing butterflies and lilies
Talking nonsense over a coffee
Asking stars for silly things
Dancing for no reason at all
Who chased the flowers away?
Said that life should be taken in all seriousness
Your smile grown into a frown
Your laugh into whispers
We were actors at such a young age
Stung by bees and got sick by old apples
There was no limit to colours
We protested when we were asked to follow
Who chased the colours away?
Said that life can only be lived in one way
Your happiness turned to stress
Your truth to white lies
The kids were right
We should laugh more
The kids were right
We should smile more
The kids were right
We should play more
The world is just power and control
So we fight it with pieces of art
