'Rise up,rise up'

 1st draft of 'Rise up,Rise up'

Rise up ,Rise up

My dad said to me 

We are going on a trip

All the way to the sea

It's 4.30 in the morning

I know that you are yawning 

But when its still dark there's no-one around

The motorway is empty 

And you can hear the bird sound 

Remember to pack your sunglasses 

And the sun cream

Remember to pack the flipflops 

Let's work as a team

We can have some music on

We can have a sing

You can be the navigator 

Its so exciting!!!

You may ask Are we there yet?

May we have some ice cream?

All in good time my dear 

I am not being mean

Here are some mints instead 

A Murray mint dream

As we get nearer to the sea

You can already see the seagulls flying by

You hope that the waves are rolling really high

You hope you can have a picnic of sandwiches and pie

When you look across the lambs are in the field

The motorway is so fast but we are counting 

We hope we have brought the potty

Or it will be a nature wee!

I hope we don't get travel sick 

Pass a bag quickly!!!

We will watch the other cars go past

Give them a wave and pass around the flask

Rise up,Rise up

The sun is shining in the window

I am thinking of ice cream sundaes that are totally sinful!

I have been dreaming of a valley 

And trees made of chocolate flake

This is the perfect summer

Lot's of friends to make 

I dream of clotted cream fudge 

It is an outing to heaven

Cream teas are a total joy

I say thankyou to Devon!!

I have brought a bucket and spade  

And lots of 2ps for the arcade

I am hoping to meet a mermaid 

I really look cool in my cap and shades

When we get to our destination 

We will run to the beach,

Feel our hearts beat 

And delve into our imaginations!

I am hoping at our hotel

They will give us colouring books 

I dream of sitting at the dinner table

Eating chicken nuggets

I love the dessert trolley!!

Watching it being rolled towards me

I am having the chocolate cake

And I am finishing my plate!!!

Rise up,Rise up

You are gonna make some friends

Buy lots of lollies with your spends 

You can play beachball

Walk along on the side wall

Learn how to do the front crawl

And how to throw a cricket ball

Outside there'll be bluebells

And a perfect sunset

We will go to the beach and

Looks for seashells to collect

We may find a little cave

Go deep with our flashlight 

Being aware of the coming waves

The building waves

Rise Up,Rise up

We will have bacon in the morning on some 

Doorstep bread!!!

Open the window and feel the spring breeze

As our noses turn bright red!

Whoever get the milk first will get the cream!

Whoever gets to the beach first will lay the blanket clean

There will be a carousel and a Ferris wheel

Lot's of rock and sticky dummies 

And crowds of people with ice creams

A picnic of sandwiches and a slice of quiche 

We will dig a big hole on the beach!!!

When the sea is coming in

The fish are gliding

The treasure is hiding

The children are donkey riding 

We will pick some fruit 

After the motorway

We will travel on a seafront route

Mum will cover us up in sun cream

We will look for pools and little streams

We will hold hands and search for rocks

Look at the sea and watch the yachts 

We will draw our names in the sand

Hide in the sand dunes all afternoon 

Get freckles in the sun and go barefoot

To the food and drinks hut

We will meet some girls

We will meet some boys

We will tickle each others toes

We will find a stick

Draw a heart and take a photo of it

We will find a shell and listen

Watch the boats glisten

Put flowers in our hair

Breath in the salty air!!!

Holding hands on the hotel park

Running on the grass 

Sharing our hearts

Go on the swings and catch each other

On the bottom of the slide

It says in this booklet 

We can feed the animals and a ride a horse 

We can buy tinsel wig and puppet

Be Daddy's caddy on the golf course

The swimming pool might be freezing

So dad will go in first 

'Its alright when your in'!!!

He says after whispering a curse!!!

We will stand there in our armbands and our rubber wings

Then take an almighty jump

And try to swim

On our last holiday 

There was a bouncy castle at the pub 

And a playground made out of tree wood

We put our best dresses on and

Had a dance at the hotel

We had a drink with an umbrella

And twirled round like a carousel

We waited for a chocolate on our pillow

For the biscuits to be replaced 

We ate Cornish pasties and fish and chips

But stayed away from seagulls on the pinch!

Rise up,Rise up

We will go to the market and look at the stalls

Lick our way through a screwball!

Look at silly postcards in the shop

In our illuminous jelly flip-flops

We will go for a walk in woodland

And try to spot a deer

We will go for a family bike ride and 

Remember to steer!!

We will look for rabbits in the hills

Walk quietly and whisper

We will look for flowers for the windowsill

Its what every home does wish for

Let's imagine building a castle and a moat

Building our own little boat

We could chase a beachball down the beach

Have a marshmallow treat!

We could go to Jungle Jim's all day

Smiling,happy lot's of play

There will be balls and a bouncy castle

Someone giving out fruit baskets 

We could go body boarding in a wetsuit

Skip to the beach and go looking for loot!!!

We will visit the amusements

And go on the slot machines

Full of beans
