(FIG. A)
She's a picture perfect child of innocence (FIG. A)
Searching out with childlike ways for knowledge (FIG. A)
Now she's questioning her mother (FILL A)
Yeah she's questioning her father (FILL A)
Yeah she's looking for the answers (FILL A)
to the problem that confront her (FILL A)
Do you know where the sun goes (FILL B)
when the water falls? (FILL B)
Do you know where the rain goes (FILL B)
when the water falls? (FILL B)
Though I think her subjects could run far and wide (FIG. A)
She has centered on the topic of the sky (FIG. A)
Now she's questioning her mother (FILL A)
Yeah she's questioning her father (FILL A)
Yeah she's looking for the answers (FILL A)
to the problem that confronts her (FILL A)
