Lyrics
“Swings” – music and lyrics by Sulene van der Walt and Elijah Melanson It's the season of summer And the kids come out to play The sun warms their skin But they don't care if it burns 'Cause there's a house by the beach Where the water's cold And someone cares It's the season of winter And the kids are still out to play The rain falls on their hair But they don't care if it's cold 'Cause there's a home in the yard Where the bed is warm And someone cares 'Cause once I was small But now there's more And I feel something else And if I could keep some time carefree Then I could find my way Back to innocence Where I can feel the simple bliss again Of small joys I'm untainted by desire And the greed for all the these things I need To make me, to make me... alive 'Cause once I was small But now there's more And I feel something else And if I could keep some time care-free Then I could find my way Back to... The swings where I could fly And I was unlimited by imagination All I needed was a little faith And I would fly away Where there’s a lamp in my room And the light is on Back to innocence Where I can feel the simple bliss again Of small joys I'm untainted by desire And the greed for all the these things I need To make me, to make me... alive Cause once I was small and now there’s more…
