黑板跟書枱基本無變
班中的師生轉了別人
看到某個孩童埋在書桌大覺瞓
昨天太遠 而天空這樣近
不見了 同學們阿敬阿發阿正阿勝不見了
遊玩時你踢過我我踢過你生氣了 還哭過了
仍未忘每一頁每張臉夢見昨日我會想笑
你我過去八歲特大號爆谷亦分吃了仍分散了
留堂後你借過我我借過你互抄功課
球賽跌痛過永遠有你支撐起我
舊校改變 門前路長滿青苔
萬物會更改情永在
廿二世紀 球場上相約比賽
如果跑不到揹着你賽
情感 一起揮過汗灌溉
你有借過我 五個半
過去你對我 亦算太過照顧
曾欠過你 從不止是五個半
自細有你 才更美滿
成長的階梯很多崎嶇很多的災厄
還盼我似你你最夠勇永遠無嚇怕
人生 人生 能經得起悲哀
微小 愁哀 塵埃一般飛開
舊校變改 門前路長滿青苔
萬物會更改情永在
廿二世紀 球場上相約比賽
如果跑不到揹着你賽
情感 一起揮過汗灌溉
情感 一起揮過汗灌溉
那次賽事我最拼搏卻跌破了頭
誰更愁 誰更愁 能靠誰來急救
遊戲時要贏 我們會贏
你很硬頸堅執不捨
難題從來無推卸
幼年時 少年時 捱埋考試
成年開始返工相戀失戀經很多曲折
仍然要贏 會贏
很多的包袱 難推卸
難過 難過 仍捱得過
陪你 難過 仍能一起過
齊來重建 兒童國
齊來攜手建造一個
誰都不可攻破
黑板跟書枱基本無變
班中的師生轉了別人
看到某個孩童埋在書桌大覺瞓
昨天太遠 仍幻想彼此可步近
