From Skipping to Marching matt keach Elated, I move through endless fields A recipient to what summer yields A boy at play is a ray of heaven Now, I skip and smile at seven Skip, skip and hope night never falls Skip, skip and rejoice in sticks and balls Chasing the sun down, eden's warden A child at play in eve's garden Frogs and squirrels all become friends Together we're hoping today never ends! Skip, skip and hug my friends and kin Skip, skip and in every game, everyone wins Father sat me down and told me the country is at war We need some strong men to spill some blood and gore He's always loved his country more than his own life He said he'd gladly offer up his sons or his wife March, march and hear the call to arms March, march sound the war alarm Well, I think I agree with what father has told me I've got to sign up to defend and be all I can be I'm eager to fight and prove myself in battle Our enemies soon we will slay like cattle March, march and operate a tank March, march and try to gain a rank Faster than you can snap The bullets fly Before I can blink, I've fallen and I die Now, I'm back where I began Decaying matter in the sand It seems from womb to worms I ran |
