From the recording Reflections
Words and Music by Judy Daigle
Lyrics
The 5 o’clock alarm screams “get out of bed”.
I’m running late and haven’t had my coffee yet.
I don’t want to be a sheep being led
with strangers down the street
Chorus:
I want to jump in puddles,
Fly through the air with a cape made from a sheet.
I want to dance in the rain without a care,
Feel the sand beneath my feet
and see rainbows in the sky through a child’s eyes
The weekend’s here but I have chores to do.
There’s bills to pay, the shopping and the laundry too.
Is this all there is to life? Me and you
ships passing in the night.
(chorus)
Bridge
I want to go back in time
when there were endless possibilities.
Leave the real world behind
and find joy in the simple things.
(chorus)
