This is fairly obviously a set of song lyrics rather than something that works well as a poem. But ah well.
NewbornOne day I will crawl like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai)
One day I will crawl like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai!)
One day I will crawl like you
Or like you did until you grew
(With a hey-ho... hey-o ai!)
One day I will walk like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai)
One day I will walk like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai!)
One day I will walk like you
With the whole world for me to walk through
(With a hey-ho... hey-o ai!)
One day I will dance like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai)
One day I will dance like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai!)
One day I will dance like you
And all the world will be dancing too
(With a hey-ho... hey-o ai!)
One day I will trudge like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai)
One day I will trudge like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai!)
One day I will trudge like you
Between the brown earth and sky so blue
(With a hey-ho... hey-o ai!)
One day I will limp like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai)
One day I will limp like you
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai!)
One day I will limp like you
Remembering when the world seemed new
(With a hey-ho... hey-o ai!)
One day I'll be dead and gone
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai)
One day I'll be dead and gone
(With a hey-ho, hey-o ai!)
One day I'll be dead and gone
And another young babe will sing my song
(With a hey-ho... hey-o ai!)
