Oh she is bright and sparkling fun
Like cherry blossom in the sun
A butterfly of broken dreams
She's always strong or so it seems
She brings the first sweet rays of smile
Makes people happy for a while
Child of spring
You dance and sing
You're free and wild
My summer child
They try to break you but they can't
They cage what they don't understand
Those winter men look at them all
Think that they're right waiting for fall
One of these day you prove 'm wrong
And you'll be singing your new song
Child of spring
You dance and sing
You're free and wild
My summer child
I wished that I could have my way
And they would listen when I say
That that young woman underneath
She needs to fly and just be free
Maybe that will happen when
You're not a case but child again
Child of spring
You dance and sing
You're free and wild
My summer child
Child of spring
You move and swing
You twist and twirl
My summer girl
