Jody these are the reasons why
The backyard we played in won't let a child die
Umm Jody these are the reasons why
The schoolyard we laughed in won't let us pass it by

Ooh I was so sad when you fell off the wall
You were so glad 'cause you laughed at us all
We could be almost anything that we want to be
Me away and you away, coming in from the sea
Sometimes I was a mountain or a seagull by the shore
Thanks God, my memory will live for ever more

Jody our sun is going down today
But Jody the days are not real
You know our sun I said is, is going down today yeah
Jody the days are not real, no no no

Oh I was so sad when you fell off the wall
You were so glad 'cause you laughed at us all
We could be almost anything that we want to be
Me away and you away, coming in from the sea
Sometimes I was a mountain or a seagull by the shore
Thanks God, my memory will live for ever more
