You've got it, kid!
(That thing you've got).
The world is yours!
(Bad things are not).

Put on your hat,
Zip up your coat.
Those things will keep
Your ship afloat.

You've got your dreams
All packed up tight.
And never fear
Bumps in the night.

But you will find
The things you fear:
Those Huffs and Puffs
That laugh and jeer.

You might get sad
(Oh yes, you might)
And that is when
You'll take your flight.

You'll run away
(Oh yes, you will).
Those things that huff
Will chase you still.

Your flights, you'll find,
Will take you far.
About as far
As Barnard's Star.





Those Huffs will fall,
And you'll be free!
The day is yours!
(I guarantee)

Yet don't forget
When you've grown tall,
The dreams you dreamt
When you were small.
