Higher Jay Kuo (Ft. Lea Salonga)

[KEI]
There once was a little girl playing on a swing set
One her grandpa built by the sycamore tree
Near the rusty farmyard gate
And while her mama pinned the laundry
The little girl would cry out loud:
"Push me higher, push me higher, push me, I can't wait!"
Her mama would push a couple times
But there was laundry still to do
So she learned to use her own strength
Pull her own weight, push on through

To swing higher, higher than before
Higher, but scared to reach for something more
Higher, higher towards the sky
Until the day she bent to kiss her mama a last goodbye

There once was a little boy who loved that swing set
He had a licorice twist from the store in town
And two knobby, skinned-up knees
While his sister pinned the laundry
That little boy would cry out loud
"Push me higher, push me higher, push me, pretty please!"
The girl would push a couple times
But there was laundry still to do
Then she watched, amazed
As suddenly, he pulled his own weight through
