London Bridges

Can we pick ourselves up by our boot straps?
An impossible task?
I don’t know, why do you ask?
See the children who play
London Bridge is falling down
So are we ~ falling down, I mean
It can’t be that hard to act like children who play in the yard
Stand behind one another
Dance
Wait our turn
Clasp hands
Pray for sunnier days
Share an umbrella in the rain
Feel each others pain
Please explain
To the children in the circle dancing around
Why the London Bridge is falling down
Or play another game
Pick each other up ~ together
Stand behind the friend in front
As One,
lean low,
hold tight
All right~ now lift up his bootstraps
Rise up together, singing
Say. . .Say. . .Say,
Don’t you worry ~ I have your back
Or we could drop our boots on the children's lap
