The sun puts her nose in, wants to know what's going on,I want to know where the night has gone,and why was yesterday so long ago.
I want to know
I know,I want to know so tell me or I'll stamp my feet and pull a face or cry a bit and then you'll place me in place that I don't want to go,
but still,
I want to know why yesterday seemed so slow yet went so fast,
I want to know why it did not last at least a little longer than it did.

It seems it skidded off the map and today walked in and slapped me wide awake,
who took my yesterday and why take yesterday away,why give me today,I don't want to stay.
I want to go
I want to know,
and who told the sun to shake the shadows off the walls,it galls me so,I want to know.

Tomorrow they can bury me,I won't see,I won't be there,I'll be where the yesterday got tangled up into today.
I still want to know,though.
