Song Description

The Playground is a song about how we learn to treat people as children, but sometimes lose sight of those teachings as adults and with all the bad things going on in the world today, I think there's no better time for this song.

Lyrics

The Playground

Verse: The Company is on my case
My life is a rat race
Making ends meet is getting hard to do.

Verse: Driving down the freeway making my rounds
Places to be all over town
When this guy cuts me off, in his SUV.

Verse: I honked at him, he cursed at me
Seeing red, waiting for the light to turn green
Saw the playground at my old school.

Chorus: There's kids playing dodgeball
Up and down on the see saw
Hanging from the monkey bars
They're taking turns on the swing
Wish I could say the same for you and me
Red, white, yellow, black or brown
We could all learn a little from the playground.

Verse: Some days we wake up mad
Five o' clock news is always bad
Seems getting ahead means falling behind

Verse: Through the schoolyard fence I began to see
Just how funny this life can be
Threre are lessons to be learned all around us

Bridge: Don't push shove or cut in line
Be patient things will work out fine
Share with everyone and hug your friends
Keep playing the game until it comes to an end
Never give up don't let people down
We've all forgotten lessons we've learned.

Chorus: There's kids playing dodgeball
Up and down on the see saw
Hanging from the monkey bars
They're taking turns on the swing
Wish I could say the same for you and me
Red, white, yellow, black or brown
We could all learn a little from the playground,
playground, playground.

Tag: As the light turned green and I drove away
A little boy smiled and waved, from the playground.
