This is the band page for a musical I wrote called "Children and Parents".
The play was intended to be performed by children and adults with the main theme exp
Story behind the song
After Song 7, a knock is heard on the door of the house where the parents are gathered. It is a policeman who has the children with him. They all hug each other and talk about what happened. They decide that they should all try harder to respect each other. They are more than their temporary roles as children and parents- they are all people, trying to have the best life they can. They sing the eighth song of the musical.
Lyrics
[Kelly] I'm not as big as you are,
But I will grow
I'm not as smart as you are,
But I still know
Chorus 1:
[Kelly] Children are people
Children are people
Children are people, too
[Mr. Sanders] I'm not as young as you are,
But I still dream
[Mrs. Sanders] My life is not yet over...
It's not like it seems
Chorus 2:
[Mr. & Mrs. Parents are people
Sanders] Parents are people
Parents are people, too
[Charley] I'm not your little play-toy,
'Cause I'm alive
You must respect my feelings-
l've got my rights

[Mrs. Jones] I never mean to hurt you-
I love you so
[Mr. Jones] When I'm sometimes angry,
I hope that you know
Chorus 2: [Mr. & Mrs. Jones]
[Jamie] I am your only future
[Ms. Miller] I am your past
[Jamie & If we help each other,
Ms. Miller] Our love will last

Ms. Miller] Parents are people
We all are people, too
Repeat Chorus 3: [All]
