lyrics

take a little look here
at this ordinary man
he is searching for something
that has slipped through his hands
looking out the window
looking in the trees
tripping on the pavement
and falling to his knees

and he hides away
behind his smile and says
how are you
how have you been
it's good to see you
you're feeling well I pray
well don't just stand there
come out and play

It's a beautiful day
for playing silly games
your cares behind you
as we call each other names
I came to see you
when your mother passed away
your face just broke my heart
take me back to the start

take another look here
as he giggles and smiles
he has found a little part of him
that has not come apart
but he's still in the window
looking in the trees
as the world around him tries to
bring him to his knees

and he hides away
behind his smile and says
how are you
how have you been
it's good to see you
you're feeling well I pray
well don't just stand there
come out and play

It's a beautiful day
for playing silly games
your cares behind you
as we call each other names
I came to see you
when your mother passed away
your face just broke my heart
take me back to the start
