Bill Beare - Only Five Lyrics

How we move and how we sing or how we do most anything
When we laugh and when we cry or gaze into the big blue sky
What they say of how we feel. That what we see is always real
But deeper things inside of me for now will be a mystery
'Cause I'm alone and I'm alive but I'm not lonely 'cos I'm only five

I've lots of friends, who're lots of fun and playtime's good for everyone
And kisses, cuddles, birthday cakes, and jumping puddles, muddy faces
And mistakes can appear, and faces run with muddy tears
But mum and dad are just nearby to dry my eyes and hold me when I cry

Creepy crawlies, they don't scare me. No!
Bedtime story giants are just big fairies. Don't you know?
Nursery rhyming, big tree climbing
Whistling wind, thunder, lightning
The world is big and so am I even though I know I'm only five

On my pillow I lie my head and snuggle up inside my bed
I love it here at day's end - just me and all my dreamtime friends
Tomorrow's just a sleep away. Another chance to run and play
The future is so cool from here. I go to big kids' school next year
Meet new friends, learn new things like how we move and how we sing
And I can run in the schoolyard, and it'll be fun though sometimes hard
But teacher's there to help us try
With all that future when we're older than five

Creepy crawlies, they don't scare me
I'm still growing though I'm only five. I'm not lonely. I'm just only five
