about

I wrote this for a college songwriting course, in which, I had to write a song inspired by Shel Silverstein.

lyrics

I took a stroll around the block
To where the sidewalk ends
To find a place to climb and jump
Or maybe find a friend
Mama said "don't talk to strangers
And never cross the street"
So, I turned around to go back home
And I found that giving tree

She said...
Listen to the musnt's child
Listen to the dont's
Listen to the shouldnt's
The impossible's, the wont's
Listen to the never-have's
Then listen close to me
Anything can happen child
Anything can be

So, I scaled her branches
Climbed so high I couldn't see the ground
Once I reached the top
I heard a voice shout, "Don't look down!"
Ma was watching through the window
And boy did she look mad
But never-have I ever seen
A face more proud than dad's

He said...
Listen to the musnt's, child
Listen to the dont's
Listen to the shouldnt's
The impossible's, the wont's
Listen to the never-have's
Then listen close to me
Anything can happen, child
Anything can be
