  S1:
  7 AM, the usual morning lineup 

  Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean 

  Polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up 

  Sweep again and by then it's like seven fifteen 

  And so I'll read a book, or maybe two or three 

  I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery 

  I'll play guitar and knit and cook and ba-si--cally 

  Just wonder, when will my life begin?

  S2:
  Then after lunch, it's puzzles and darts and baking 

  Papier-mâché, a bit of ballet and chess 

  Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making 

  Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb, sew a dress 

  And I'll reread the books if I have time to spare 

  I'll paint the walls some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere 

  And then I'll brush and brush and brush and brush my hair 

  Stuck in the same place I've al----ways been

  And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin' and wonderin' and wonderin' 

  When will my life begin?

  S3:
  Tomorrow night 

  Lights will appear 

  Just like they do 

  On my birthday each year  

  What is it like 

  Out there where they glow?  

  Now that I'm older 

  Mother might just let me go
