little sailor boy in your lollipop ship
the sky is clear and blue for your sunny trip
but when the clouds appear and darken the skies
little sailor boy, do you turn round and hide
little daisy girl with your sugar smile
they'll hold your hand and flatter you for a while
but when they walk away and leave you alone
little daisy girl, can you find your way home
and when the time has come to just decide
and you can have the chance to grow
but you choose your status quo and die
you'll remember that I told you so
pretty princess girl with the world on a string
you have no need to fear anything
but when the string is cut and you learn how to fight
pretty princess girl, can you make things right
pennywhistle boy in your apple train
you chug through city after city again
but when the cities blur and you just want to break
pennywhistle boy, can you stop for your sake
and when the time has come to just decide
and you can have the chance to grow
but you choose your status quo and die
you'll remember that I told you so
maybe we are not just what happened to us
we don't have to choose to be numb
and maybe if we are not just what happened to us
we are what we choose to become
little singer girl with the strength of heart
you knew you loved him from the very start
but when your love's returned and happiness made
little singer girl, can you stop being afraid
