Don't Forget to Play
Dance on the playground
 The carousel goes around
 The way it should be
 Accept without a sound
 
 The swingers are swinging
 The sandcastles are built
 The lights on the field 
 Are on at full tilt
 
 We don’t know who we are here
 The carousel in a blur 
 You’re nothing but good
 I’m nothing for sure 
 
 The cracks in the sidewalk
 The creak of the slide
 Nothing great or grand
 A slick easy ride
 
 Jump off the pony
 Leave its painted mane behind
 Remember the summer
 And all the better times
 
 Don’t listen to those
 Who sit on the bench
 They’re withered and faded
 They’re stuck on a fence
 
 You can’t go back
 To the first circle’s spin
 So be happy with the ride
 And that’s how you win.
