lyrics

Like a parrot in a rainy forest
Like a beluga in the ocean
Like any one of many million children
You’re meant to grow

Like in a meadow any ant and crawler
Like in a tree a drone and queen bee
Like all Belizean and Brazilian children
You’re meant to grow

Chorus:

Go now, go!
The world is waiting, doves are mating
Go now, go!
What you’re waiting for, this is day one of your whole life of love, so
Go now, go!

Like a hummingbird in search of nectar
Like a heffalump out for honey
Like any one of all the brilliant children
You’re meant to grow

Like a griffin’s son and dragon’s daughter
Like lion king and queen’s sweet babies
Like all amazingly resiliant children
You’re meant to grow

Chorus

Like your father and your father’s father
Like your mother and your granny
Like from the first one all gazillion children
You’re meant to grow

Like the romans and the roaming nomads
Like the egyptians and the gypsies
Like all Castillian and Sevillian children
You’re meant to grow

Chorus
