When I Was A Kid

9 July 2020 © written by Zoe the Storyteller

When I was a kid, I use to climb trees
Can’t believe I’m old enough to have a child of my own
Now I can’t help but think
will there be any trees left for my kids

When I was a kid, I use to play in the park
with my brother for hours until it got too dark
Oh I, I can’t help but think
will there be any park left for my kids?

When I was a kid, I made dens in the wood
And ran around the grass naked just because I could
Oh I, I can’t help but think
will there be any woods left for my kids?

When I was a kid, I use to chase butterflies
Now I feel so lucky just to see one pass me by
Oh I, I can’t help but think
Will there be any left now for my kids?

When I was a kid
I wished that I was a star
I’d sing the main stage at Glastonbury festival
Now I, I can’t help but think Now I, I can’t help but think
Will my kids be allowed to dream?
Will my kids be allowed to dream? Will my kids be allowed to dream?

What’s a world without trees?
What’s a world without parks?
What’s a world without dreams?
Just concrete
Car fumes
Smart phones
Power stations
Concrete
Car fumes
Smart phones
Toxic landfill
concrete
Car fumes
Smart phones
Planes fill the sky
