Wait, what?


Wait, what? I'm just five 

Why is the bus coming for me?

Mommy, please don't make me leave!

Mommy, please don't say goodbye.

 

Wait, what? I'm only ten

Why are we moving away? 

Please, I want to stay!

Please, let me stay with friends.

 

Wait, what? I'm just fourteen

Why is my life about to change? 

Help, it's getting strange! 

Help, it's getting mean.

 

Wait, what? I'm eighteen 

Why must I move on? 

Wait, time's almost gone!

Wait, it's time for me to beam.
