I see you in the schoolyard
Standing there alone
My kite against the blue sky
Your paper birds at home
Your games and my games
They're all just play
Your smile and my smile
Light up the day
Trading marble patterns
Running through the rain
Your words in my language
My songs in your name
(Your name, your name)
Your games and my games
They're all just play
Your smile and my smile
Light up the day
The elders watch us dancing
Their faces start to shine
Breaking down the fences
One step at a time
String games with your fingers
I learn them right away
Tea cups in your courtyard
While puppets dance and sway
(Dance and sway, dance and sway)
Your games and my games
They're all just play
Your smile and my smile
Light up the day
(Our games are just the same now)
Your games and my games
(We play them every day)
Your smile and my smile
(Together all the way)
They're all just play
