• You can be anybody you want to be
  you can love whomever you will
  you can travel any country where your heart leads
  and know (we) will love you still.

  you can gather friends around
  you can choose one special one.
  And the only measure of your words and your deeds
  will be the love you leave behind when you're done.

He shrieked and screamed and rolled around, Laughed his way right out of town. Through the country down the road, He got tickled by a toad. . . . . Giggling, rolling on his back He rolled on the railroad track. Rumble, rumble, whistle, roar- Tom ain't ticklish any more.
