I heard the sound of children playing The sound of innocence is freedom Stay young Laughter loses its colour so quickly In this cruel cruel world There's no hiding place From the demons of time Stay young All you have is now So run to the sun Dance in the rain May that first kiss last till you're old and grey Stay young Stay young And don't forget to love yourself You might need it when you're down and out and blue And always speak the truth Like that karma will shine its light upon you The sunshine will always wash away those dark feelings And Momma's arms will always be A place where you can hide Play dance live life this is your time Play dance live love this is your time I heard the sound of children playing
