LYRICS (please edit as necessary, I wrote it down by listening in the TH-cam for my son) I know a pencil full of lead, It knows the thoughts within my head It knows my secrets and my fears, it draws a line right through my tears I know a pencil old and gray willing to work both night and day Fat and lovely light and fine, It moves with me through space and time Be thy good or be thy bad, it tells of all the dreams I have had and When I have no oar to row, it writes a way and lets me go When baby words are crying loud it touches words and makes me proud A work of Art is no fake, it really has a point to make This pencil sees the best of me, the worst and all the rest of me And as I go through puberty, it changes all my poetry It goes with me on all my tours, it fought with me in all world wars And peacefully this pencil tries to help me learn and make me wise Every pencil needs a hand and every mind needs to expand I know a pencil poetry is, me and it in harmony

LYRICS (please edit as necessary, I wrote it down by listening in the TH-cam for my son)
I know a pencil full of lead, It knows the thoughts within my head
It knows my secrets and my fears, it draws a line right through my tears
I know a pencil old and gray willing to work both night and day
Fat and lovely light and fine, It moves with me through space and time
Be thy good or be thy bad, it tells of all the dreams I have had and
When I have no oar to row, it writes a way and lets me go
When baby words are crying loud it touches words and makes me proud
A work of Art is no fake, it really has a point to make
This pencil sees the best of me, the worst and all the rest of me
And as I go through puberty, it changes all my poetry
It goes with me on all my tours, it fought with me in all world wars
And peacefully this pencil tries to help me learn and make me wise
Every pencil needs a hand and every mind needs to expand
I know a pencil poetry is, me and it in harmony
THANK YOU
