Once upon a rainy day,
A kid named Red came out to play,
He looked around, what did he see?
A world so real, just wait and see.

He reached up high, up to the sky,
To catch the rain that fell so nigh,
He raised his arms, felt oh so free,
And felt the raindrops on his sleeve.

With his trusty radio in hand,
He danced and sang across the land,
He felt so ready, he felt so great,
To take on any challenge, any fate.

He sat down to read a book,
A record of adventures took,
He was amazed by what he found,
A world of wonders to surround.

And as the day came to an end,
He realized that he had a friend,
A gift that he did receive,
A world of love he could believe.

So, kids, remember this little tale,
Of how one can truly prevail,
Just be yourself, and really try,
And reach for the stars up high.
