Fred Rogers
Children Can
Who can crawl under a table?
Who can sit under a chair?
Who can fit their feet in little shoes
And sleep most anywhere?
Who can play very much longer
Play much harder than grownups ever dare?
You're a child so you can do it
You can do it anywhere

Who can wake up every morning
And be ready right away?
Who can notice all the tiny things
That other people say?
Who can make the things they play with
Something different for every single day?
You're a child and you can do it
You can do it any way

Roll in the grass
Squoosh in the mud
Lick an ice cream cone
Sing to a bass
Splash in a flood
By a stepping stone, all alone

Who can put your hand in my hand
And be ready to feel all safe and strong?
You're a child so you can do it
Children do it all life long
