Sky Full of Rain

Sky full of rain. Road full of puzzles. Roll up our trouser legs and splash through our troubles. In the world of a child, it’s an important day. Slide down the rail. Peel a banana. Let’s hide an ice cream cone inside the piano. In the world of a child, it’s an important day. We’ve got bottle caps and treasure maps, a jar filled with bugs. We’ve got pirate ships, potato chips and grandmother’s hugs. We’ve got secret doors and dinosaurs and jelly on toast. Peter Pan meets Superman; great Caesar’s ghost! Cow on the tracks. Train on the trestle. Jump on the bed and grab a pillow to wrestle. In the world of a child, it’s an important day. Make up a game. Play something special. Straighten a candy cane and untie a pretzel. In the world of a child, it’s an important day. We’ve got rubber snakes and fishin’ lakes, a SpongeBob balloon. We’ve got vacant lots and astronauts and trips to the moon. We’ve got time machines and submarines, a beanstalk to climb. Jackie Chan meets Spiderman; it’s web slingin’ time! Sky full of rain. Road full of puzzles. Roll up our trouser legs and splash through our troubles. In the world of a child, it’s an important day.
