For Jasmine

I am watching you Watching the way you watch people do The things that they do As you grow older - learning Child understanding About the way that a soul on a soul on a soul can be born Can be beautiful Child, understanding I see the smile that lights your face When you understand and realise, Oh child, in this world Strange how we forget the things that made us first smile Ho hey, never stop learning Ho hey, never stop wandering Baby's growing older Oh my child never stop learning And I'm learning too About the way that people do The things that they do Never meaning to hurt anyone But we all do things we regret And wish we'd never done Oh child, and there you are Wandering through the garden of life Picking up flowers and eating them And the world will smile when you smile And we all have smiles inside of us Ho hey, never stop learning Ho hey, never stop wandering Baby's growing older Oh my child never stop learning Now baby, baby, yeah- don't you ever stop learning Baby, baby, yeah - don't you ever stop learning
