Be a child! That's the most precious advice I can possibly give you.
Be a child! With his appetite for life And his pleasure to experiment.
Be a child! With all his leisure time And his aristocratic way of living.
Be a child! And you won't fall trap In the deceiving hands of
Ambition.. Avarice.. *** avidity Or Industrial dehumanization.
Be a child! And you'll be the sole grown-up Who fills up his time
With the only really important thing: Existence per se!!
Be a child And you'll learn how to enjoy everything!
And you'll live not searching for causes, Principles and explanations.
You won't generalise, But take every thing for what in fact is!
And you'll be creative and spontaneous... And you'll have an artist's life!
And in your living for the moment You'll give colour and density to the passing Time.
And you'll be thinking ... FREELY!
Be a child! And you won't need be A working slave earning one's living.
Working for money: What a shame!
Selling one's so limited life span: What a shame!
But even more: You won't make use of cheats and scams To reach the so chimeric material gains.
And in your living for the moment You'll give colour and density to the passing Time.
You're a child and you sense Real happiness flowing from inside.
You're a child And you're not a slave to money
Or to social prejudices About how one is to be living.
You are... FREE !!!
