I hear the sound of running feet
Laughter of children from the street
All playing on the pavement wide
Darting about from side to side.
Their shrieks of glee are full of joy
Including every girl and boy
Oh such great fun that’s to be had
Without scoldings by Mom and Dad.
I love to see the youngsters play
In God’s fresh air day after day
What a sweet pleasure it would be
If all the world could feel that free !
My memories of childhood sing
They have that old familiar ring
Just kids trying to kick-the-can
Come see how fast that they all ran !
Or five-ten-ring-a-levio
Show me how far that you will go
Hear now red-rover, red-rover
Calling let Annie come-over !
But best of all, hop-scotch for two
That’s followed by the game Statue
Oh for those past and happy days
When life was sweet and children played !
