Analysis of Childhood's Song
Forming a circle,
Hands joined together,
Dancing on daydreams,
We laugh, and sing, and play.
We’ll find each other,
Wand'ring down laneways,
Past all tomorrows,
Our cares have gone away.
Laughter and moonbeams
Starlight and sweet dreams,
Sunshine of Childhood,
If only it could stay.
Forming a circle,
Hands joined together,
Dancing on daydreams,
We laugh, and sing, and play.
Teardrops and sorrow,
Sadness and parting,
They're for tomorrow,
They're for another day.
We'll find each other,
Wand'ring down laneways,
Past all tomorrows,
Our cares have gone away.
