Lyrics
Musical - The Hourglass= Ellie: I don't need to live all large I just like to be in charge Of things I do and eat And how I dress

Katherine: Oh my dear, I wish you knew All the work I have to do Just to keep you in your munchies and your mess

Ellie: If you knew what I go through...

Katherine: If you knew what I go through...

Ellie: Walked a day in my own shoes...

Katherine: Worked a day in grown-up shoes...

Ellie: Well then, maybe you would see...

Katherine: You would see and learn that that's why I can't say yes!

Ellie: And you would just say yes! If you knew what I go through, how it's hellishly unfair

Katherine: Oh, I'd love to be in school, have a day without a care

Both: How I wish you'd understand and see the world my way

Ellie: For just one day...

Katherine: For just one day...

Ellie: For just one day...

Katherine: For just one day...

Both: For just, one, day... I don’t need to live all large I just like to be in charge Of the things I do or eat And how I dress Oh my dear I wish you knew All the work I have to do Just to keep you in your munchies And your mess

If you knew what I go through (If you knew what I go through) Walked a day in my own shoe (Worked a day in grown-up shoes) Well then, maybe you would see (You would see and learn) And you would just say yes! (That that's why I can't say yes!) If you knew what I go through How it’s brutally unfair I’d love to be in school Have a day without a care How I wish you’d understand And see the world my way For just one day (just one day) Just one day (just one day) Just one day
