I am a child, I'll last a while.
You can't conceive
    of the pleasure in my smile.
You hold my hand,
    rough up my hair,
It's lots of fun
    to have you there.

God gave to you,
    now, you give to me,
I'd like to know
    what you learned.
The sky is blue
    and so is the sea.
What is the color,
    when black is burned?
What is the color?

You are a man, you understand.
You pick me up
    and you lay me down again.
You make the rules,
    you say what's fair,
It's lots of fun
    to have you there.

God gave to you,
    now, you give to me,
I'd like to know
    what you learned.
The sky is blue
    and so is the sea.
What is the color,
    when black is burned?
What is the color?

I am a child, I'll last a while.
You can't conceive
    of the pleasure in my smile.
