I'm just a little child, you see - 
And your so big and strong – 
I hate it when you yell at me 
And point your finger long. 

I would, I could, I know I should - 
I'm good, I wish you knew, 
That in my little learning heart 
I yearn to be like you. 

But I'm just a little child, you see, 
And your so hard to reach. 
Come down and meet me eye to eye; 
And talk with me; don't preach. 

Within the space of face to face 
My hope and courage soar. 
I"m just a little child you see 
Who now knows I'll be more.
