Never Play

Never play by the stairs, your bound to fall down 

Never play by the hillside, You might slip and break your crown 

Never play by the fire, It's a danger to your health 

Never play by the wall, You might fall and break yourself 

Never play by the river, You might tumble in and drown 

Never play by the fields, You'll get filthy, dirty and brown 

Never play by yourself It's a danger to be alone 

Never stray too far away, It's not safe outside of home 

I didn't ask to be born 

I don't think I'll ask to die 

I didn't ask for the ground beneath my feet 

I didn't ask for the sky 

All that I ask, My darling 

All I really ask of you 

All that I ask, My darling 

Is that you stay here with me.
