He led me to the top of the world
I was trembling with fear
Heights are not my friend dear,
My shiverings they could hear
And consume me they would.
Consume you they would
How crude
What hoots
But why let them take you?
Darling you’re on top of the world
You can win them for sure
Step forward dear
You’ll trump.
You’re already on top.
It’s your game now.
Mary took her son for a stroll
today is a day for lessons
from mother nature they take
These rocks are the wall of our world
the sand our playground
the grey skies behave as they like
perhaps they’d be blue if you behave
These houses where we shelter and rest
these cars take us to the end of the world
today you can’t see over the skyscrapers
perhaps tomorrow you’d fly over them
But what is it we’re learning from nature today mama?
Mary stopped in her tracks wondering what she missed
we’re learning colours son.
Grey rocks and brown sand
white houses and red cars
Mary turned the world over to see what was missing
she was sure there was something from her childhood
that her son was not to see
