Rem – The Wrong Child

Rem – The Wrong Child

Ive watched the children come and go

A late long march into spring

I sit and watch those children

Jump in the tall grass

Leap the sprinkler

Walk in the ground

Bicycle clothespin spokes

The sound the smell of swingset hands

I will try to sing a happy song

Ill try and make a happy game to play

Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend

Tell me what its like to go outside

Ive never been

Tell me what its like to just go outside

Ive never been

And I never will

Im not supposed to be like this

Im not supposed to be like this

But its okay

Hey those kids are looking at me

I told my friend myself

Those kids are looking at me

Theyre laughing and theyre running over here

Theyre laughing and theyre running over here

What do I do?

What can I do?

What should I do?

What do I say?

What can I say?

I said Im not supposed to be like this

Lets try to find a happy game to play

Lets try to find a happy game to play

Im not supposed to be like this

But its okay…okay
