What’s That, How Do You Say This

[Intro] Little toes tapping, a world brand new Tongue-tied giggles, pockets full of clue [Verse 1] What’s that? I point with a grin at the sky Words puffing like balloons as I try How do you say this, with a wiggle and a wink? I twist the sounds until they rhyme and blink [Chorus] What’s that, what’s that, I chorus to the air How do you say this, I’m learning everywhere Words dance in bubbles when I mispronounce with care Joy in every stumble, curiosity to spare [Verse 2] A riddle tucked in a bubblegum mouth, I test it out I say “applesauce” then giggle at the clout “Gnub” becomes “cloud,” and I clap at the light Mistakes turn to giggles in the softest night [Pre-Chorus] I try again, with a brave, shy sway Every sound a new sun’s shy ray [Chorus] What’s that, what’s that, I chorus to the air How do you say this, I’m learning everywhere Words drift like fireflies when I mispronounce with care Joy in every stumble, curiosity to spare [Bridge] Tiptoe vowels, stumble on the consonant hill I squeak out syllables until they fit my will [Verse 3] “Rephrase?” I whisper, then grin wide and true I remix the old and whisper something new Mispronounce with courage, let the laughter bloom Discovery’s a lighthouse in a curious room [Chorus] What’s that, what’s that, I chorus to the air How do you say this, I’m learning everywhere Words drift like balloons when I mispronounce with care Joy in every stumble, curiosity to spare [Outro] So I’ll keep asking, with a sparkle on my face Finding meaning in every sound, in every place What’s that, how do you say this, I’ll bravely try again With a heart full of wonder, until the end
