You know those places that only children know?
The nooks and cranny’s; the hideaways
that grown-ups don’t think about?
That’s where imagination lives.
Kids are drawn there
because magic fills the air there.
They breathe it in and it fills them with ideas.
You know those places that only children know?
Where a box can become a spaceship,
or a house; a grove of trees a theatre,
some old crates are a school.
In places like that kids can just be,
The don’t have to pull up their socks
Or sit up straight
Or say please and thank you
Yes mam, no sir.
You know those places that only children know?
There, they’re just kids.
Or rather, kings and queens
and teachers and actors
and octopuses and lions
And loud and feisty and shouty and
You know those places that only children know?
We all need a place like that.
