While you were growing
while you were growing
i went to explore, to try and find some things i hadn’t seen before.
i got on a plane and flew over the sea, to see fun things that were waiting for me.
i climbed lots of mountains and played on the beach...
and ate lots of coconuts too hard to reach.
i splashed with elephants...
and looked at the whales
said hi to monkeys hung by their tails.
through the deserts and rainforest as we got further away, to find a nice home where we could stay.
i made friends with some koalas, kangaroos and some snakes...
caught lots of fish and swam in the lakes.
but it’s time to come home now to see something new...
i hear there’s a gift waiting...
that someone is you!
