The Kid in the Cordilleras

Walking, walking
Mud on feet
Dirty old slippers
Swish swoosh swish

Water from the river
Wet tired feet
Cuts and blisters
Happy little feet

Skipping, skipping
Rocks and stones
Rubber slippers
Stuck! Now it broke!

Little hands try
Little hands try
To fix dirty old slippers
Eyes up to the sky

Slowly, slowly
Swish swoosh swish
Water from the river
Careful little feet

Wobble, wobble
Don’t burst the bubble
No need to rush
Careful of the rubble

Hurray little feet!
School is behind the trees!
More dirty old slippers
On happy little feet!
