Let’s become kids again

Let’s become kids again, Catch butterflies, and eat raw berries, let’s release the stress, remove distress.

Let’s become kids again

Let’s become kids again,

Catch butterflies,

And eat raw berries

Let’s sing a national anthem,

Play with tip cat

And become kids again

Let’s hide grandma’s stick,

Hide Huka of grandpa,

While you hide and I seek

Let’s make new friends,

Become children again,

To play judge who reconcile differences.

Let’s help the old hawker,

Save a little puppy,

And feed milk to the kitten,

Let’s become kids again,

Count up to hundred,

And let’s recite ABC.

Let’s solve the math sum,

Celebrate soccer victory,

And become a kid again.

Can we play a Ludo game again?

Let’s become kids and pick up raw mangoes.

Let’s run from our guardian,

Throw a stone in the river,

While we try to swim

Let’s become a kid again,

Sketch the book,

And create a signature.

Let’s imitate our teacher,

Skip school,

And be kids again.

Let’s release the stress,

Remove distress,

And play a video game.

Let’s mimic big fame,

And be kids again.
