Danger Wil Robinson
Walking down the street along that old construction site
Several children were playing slightly far off to the the right
Playing around just below that old rickety elevator car and frame
They kept running in and out while they were playing their little game
But as the winds blew and that old rusty frame began to shake
I immediately and instinctively knew that this decision I must make
So I jumped over the fence and started running towards their way
My fear becoming so immense in seeing how that shaft would sway
And just as I got near they all looked over and towards me
As for them it was not clear all those dangers they just couldn't see
And as I called out and warned them of such dangers to be
They looked backed with utter doubt so seemingly not to agree
Just as you would not walk away there nor could I walk away here
For there are many people who don't care though the message is so clear
But you wouldn't just walk away for your heart would not allow it
And so you stay, persevering, but you would never quit
