Never play by the stairs
Your bound to fall down
Never play by the hillside
You might slip and break your crown
Never play by the fire
It's a danger to your health
Never play by the wall
You might fall and break yourself

Never play by the river
You might tumble in and drown
Never play by the fields
You'll get filthy, dirty and brown
Never play by yourself
It's a danger to be alone
Never stray too far away
It's not safe outside of home

I didn't ask to be born
I don't think I'll ask to die
I didn't ask
For the ground beneath my feet
I didn't ask for the sky
All that I ask
My darling
All I really ask of you
All that I ask
My darling
Is that you stay here with me
