" Oh Happy Childhood "

Oh happy childhood Just full of glee Was a child more happy Than a child like me ? Some days were bright Some days were sad But they didn't last long As childhood isn't very bad If I had been good I was happy as a lark If I had been bad I was afraid after dark Now as I have grown older I know what it means When after darkness Come bad dreams For when we are good The world is bright But when we are bad Its darker than night So friends just remember When life seems weary There may be some things we can do To make life more merry So if we walk in the light The world is all bright But if we walk in the evil way My friend , it will never pay.
