They’re coming, coming for me
I must move along, I must flee

They’re coming, coming for me
I have to find a safe place to be

They’re coming, coming for me
I’m just a small child, can’t they see

They’re coming, coming for me
I only wish to be happy and free

They’re coming, coming for me
I’m begging on bended knee

They’re coming, coming for me
Can’t they just let us be

Let a smile be your umbrella
That’s what they always say
Keep your true feelings
Neatly tucked away

Let a smile be your umbrella
That’s what they always say
Give everyone around you
A much brighter day

Let a smile be your umbrella
That’s what they always say
Let others think your persona
Is upbeat, bright and gay

Let a smile be your umbrella
That’s what they always say
The price for pent up emotions
Eventually to pay

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
The building crumbled
The rubble
Grew

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
Character fell
To the wrecking
Crew

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
The needs of many
Gave way to a
Few

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
With the past
The powers that be were
Through

Much to their surprise
Right before their eyes

Not a cat marooned
But bicycles festooned

On all the calls they’ve been
Now everything they’d seen

Gone by the way
Of the
Eight track tape
With compact discs
Soon
To
Follow

A world
Of everything
Satellite
And cellular
Somehow
Leaves me feeling
Hollow

The two they shared a special bond Each of the other truly fond

Once alone, but now together Life’s travails able to weather
