Jimmy's Song - Paradise Oskar

Jimmy tries to kick his football

Over the fence his father built for him

Before he moved away

So that he could see if

Peter sitting by his tree

And if he’d like to come and play

Jimmy kicks the ball over the fence

And hears the voice of Peter say;

Why did you kick the ball?

Jimmy answers;

So that I can be a football star when I grow up

And Peter stands up tall

And tells him

Jimmy

If you ever drown inside

The madness of your brain

I will try to keep you normal

Try to keep you sane

But please remain

As young as you are today

Jimmy says: You’re wrong

If you grow up then you can be a football star

And stay up all night

You can go to work

And always eat the things you want

And drive a car

As much as you like

And Peter tells him:

If you ever drown inside

The madness of your brain

I will try to keep you normal

Try to keep you sane

But please remain

As young as you are today

If you grow up

There’s no return to neverland

And when you’re old and wise

It’s then you understand

That you can be a football star

Or superman

Forever and everland

But if you ever drown inside

The madness of your brain

I will try to keep you normal

Try to keep you sane

But please remain

As young as you are today

If you ever drown inside

The madness of your brain

I will try to keep you normal

Try to keep you sane

Yeah if you ever drown inside

The madness of your brain

I will try to keep you normal

Try to keep you sane

But please remain

As young as you are today

As young as you are today
