Lyrics

Sometimes I get so mad
I think of the fort that I built with my dad
All right
Maybe life ain't so bad
Things in my world aren't really that bad
All right
Dad, my bicycle wheels are now two
I'm mad
But you seem to think
I can do
Anything I put my mind to
So you push me hard
And I pedal off through the yard
He understands
The fears that I have
He makes it okay
With a storybook tale from his head
In a dream
We're sailing away
To a far away island where
Everything's real that he said
Dad, my bicycle wheels are now two
I'm mad
But you seem to think
I can do
Anything I set my mind to
So you push me hard
And I pedal off through the yard
Dad, my bicycle wheels are now two
I'm mad
But you seem to think
I can do
Anything I set my mind to
So you push me hard
And soon I'll be happy like you
