Let Me Be Young by Kim Uliana

Let me be young. Let me be free.

Let me jump high. Let me be me.

Let me be silly. Let me dress funny.

Let me play when it rains and

when it is sunny.

Let me ask questions and

answer me why?

Let me fall down. Wipe my tears when I cry.

Let me make choices. Listen to what I say.

Let me laugh. Let me sing.

Let me dance. Let me play.

Soon enough I will grow and lose all my wild.

So for today, please let me be a child.
