the blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum
\nbut it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah
\nand like the flavour of blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last
\nwe’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go fast<\/p>\n
i don’t wanna be a grown up like the grown ups i have seen
\ncause the grown ups i have seen don’t seem to have much fun
\nthey don’t get down on the floor enough to pray or play with toys
\nwhen i’m a grown up i won’t wanna be one<\/p>\n
now if i hit back at the time of the Prophet
\ni know that he would be different i just know he’d find the time
\nand i would make him something special like some paper planes or something
\ni could race those planes with him or get a camel back ride<\/p>\n
the blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum
\nbut it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah
\nand like the flavour of blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last
\nwe’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go fast<\/p>\n
i’d like to write a promise, i want you to make it too
\nthat if i misbehave a little like i sometimes do
\nyou won’t get really mad and you’ll be patient like the Prophet
\ni really like my promise, how about you<\/p>\n
’cause the blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum
\nbut it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah
\nand like the flavour of blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last
\nwe’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go fast<\/p>\n
to be a mommy or a daddy must be really really hard
\nso let’s take a break together ’cause i know how much you try
\nlet’s have a dish of apple sauce and tumble in the yard
\nand we can play and we can pray along with the blue sky<\/p>\n
the blue sky is blue like blue bubble gum
\nbut it prays to Allah, it prays to Allah
\nand like the flavour of blue sky and the bubble gum won’t last
\nwe’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go fast
\nwe’ve got to thank Allah before our chances go fast<\/b><\/p>\n
