in front of the apts
Kids are skating in front
Of the apartment block.
Kids are throwing snowballs too.
Theyâre wearing hats and mitts,
Scarves flying in the air.
All of those kids out having fun.
Itâs such a happy scene.
Someplace weâve all been.
Someplace we all want to go.
Trees are covered in snow.
Thereâs people in the buildings I know.
Watching those kids out having fun.
Cars in the parking lot,
Signs up over the doors.
One kidâs holding a shovel.
Where did they come from?
Hopeâs imagination.
Those happy kids in the snow.
What does it tell you about,
Whatâs on the inside out?
All of those kids out having fun.
