Nothing But Steam

A look at the world through children's eyes Opens a bright new scene Some things that reach a boiling point Turn out to be nothing but steam! Kids have a way of looking at things We can learn from these little guys Don't ever take life too seriously, friends You won't get out of it alive! Laugh at the world, it's just a game One with the most marbles wins What can you buy with a bunch of marbles? Maybe a bottle of grins! A look at the world through children's eyes And all of a sudden you're free Free to go round talking to the birds To climb all those big old trees Life was really so much simpler back then In the morning you went out to play Winter or summer, it made no difference That's how you would spend your day! A look at the world through children's eyes Opens a bright new scene Some things that reach a boiling point Turn out to be nothing but steam!
