I got up from bed fifteen minutes ago,
With my bed neatly made,
With my breakfast all laid
And now I'm ready to go.

I stretch my legs out
Hoping the pain doesn’t show
But wanting it to all the same
I feel like speeding up.

My feet dangle above the ground
The wind resonates true freedom
real fear, I have found
Scarier places, I've only dreamt them

The daisies on the sides of the road
Green grass tickles my bare feet
The lake is where there are friends to meet
Summer is so very, very sweet,

the stars are suddenly brighter,
and the ground a cluster of clouds.
the air is suddenly lighter,
ecstatic voices, so loud.

Today you will meet Lemonade
You will see her vibrant green
She really loves to serenade
This is something that should be seen
