Lyrics

(Kindergarten children)
Tiny eyes looking back at me.
School's first day faced so timidly.
But I can't spend long with you today.
Necessity is calling me away.

I'll help you gather courage.
And I'll watch the games you play.
But if you turn and see me gone,
You'll know I couldn't stay.

Eager eyes looking up at me.
It's graduation day at university.
Your life's a game that becons you to play
I must get back to debts that pave your way.

I'll help you gather knowledge
For the games you have to play.
But if you turn and see me gone,
You'll know I couldn't stay,

Loving eyes look across at me.
As your first child giggles happily.
Your flame burns bright.
Your life is in its prime.
My candle dims, I have so little time.

I'll help you gather memories
Of all the games you played
But if you turn and see me gone.
You'll know I couldn't stay.
