Let Children Play
They stand on the field with their heart beating fast
The whistle's been blown the die has been cast
Mum and Dad cannot help, they stand all alone
A goal at this moment would send the team home
The ball near their feet, they kick it and miss
There's a moan from the crowd, some boo and some hiss
Tears fill their eyes its no longer fun
If you're ever tempted to shout or to groan
Remember it's a child, who stands all alone
So open your heart give them a break
in moments like this, a player you make
Keep this in mind
please do not forget
They're only children, not adults yet!
