Come, young ones, gather 'round
Let's learn and grow on this playground
I'll teach you words and ways to be
And together we'll build a better destiny

First, we'll turn and spin and dance
Feel the rhythm, take a chance
Then, let's close our eyes and dream
Of all the things that we can be

Now, take your pencils and write down
Your dreams and hopes, let them abound
And if you need me, just call my name
I'll be here for you, always the same

So come on, let's learn and play
And make the most of every day
Together we'll build a brighter future
With love, kindness, and adventure.
