Into the world we go,
Exploring things we don't yet know,
With an open mind and heart,
We can make a brand new start.

Iron sharpens iron, they say,
And together we can find our way,
So let me introduce an idea,
Something new for us to cheer!

I invent a way to play,
And we can all join in today,
I'm just a kid, but I believe,
We can make our dreams come alive and achieve.

I'm in the mood to explore,
To find what's hiding behind the door,
Maybe it's something cold like ice,
Or something cozy that's really nice.

Inside our minds we hold the key,
To unlock our potential and be free,
With each new challenge we increase,
Our skills and knowledge never cease.

Remember, young ones, it's important to try,
Even if you're not sure why,
And if you fall or stumble along the way,
Just get back up and seize the day.

So let's go out and make our mark,
We can do it if we embark,
On a journey of imagination and fun,
Our possibilities are endless, if we just begun!
