Let It Slip Away

Why do I have to go to school every day Don't wanna read and write I would rather play I wish that we could go down To the sea Why do you have to leave me just to go to work Why do we have to save all the money you earn I wish we could take a day Just you and me And mama why did you have to lose the love you found Why do I have to miss dad so much the week When he is not around All of these questions at night But I will stay by your side Talk to you softly before you fall asleep All of these worries at night And sometimes no answer in sights Just hold my hand and let it slip away Why don't all people talk exactly like me Why are some people locked up while others are free There's a lot of people Not even allowed to talk Why are there some people who don't have any friends Why are there some children so completely different Some can't see And others cannot walk And mama why did you have to lose the love you found Why do I have to miss dad so much the week When he is not around All of these questions at night But I will stay by your side Talk to you softly before you fall asleep All of these worries at night And sometimes no answer in sights Just hold my hand and let it slip away All of these questions at night But I will stay by your side Talk to you softly before you fall asleep All of these worries at night And sometimes no answer in sights Just hold my hand and let it slip away Just hold my hand and let it slip away
