We are all – we are naughty, we are selfish, we are caring, we are soft, we are harsh, we are gentle, we are ALL at different times. Let our children be free of us – let us allow them to be ALL. Listen to this lovely song by Lenka (video below)
LYRICS
As sly as a fox, as strong as an oxAs fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
As free as a bird, as neat as a word
As quiet as a mouse, as big as a houseAll I wanna be, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be iseverythingAs mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toadAs pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whaleAll I wanna be oh, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be iseverything
Everythingatonce
Everythingatonce, oh
EverythingatonceAs warm as the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar andeverythingniceAs old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna beAll I wanna be oh, all I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be iseverything
Everythingatonce
