I lost my lunchroom I.D. pass.
The cost, I didn't eat.
I lost my movie ticket.
The cost, my movie seat.
I lost "one" little house key....
That my parents lent to me.
That cost me my allowance.
And, YO! Did that pee me?
That made me lose my temper.
I got real real mad.
That cost me two weeks grounded.
And peace with Mom and Dad.
I found my movie ticket.
Too little. Too late.
I found my lunchroom I.D. pass.
Finally, I ate.
I found that stupid house key.
My parents took it away.
But I didn't find my temper.
So in my room, I had to stay.
Outside my bedroom window....
The playground full with my friends.
Whenever I get myself grounded....
My regret never ends.
I should not lose my temper.
But lose my selfish self.
I'll quit my get real real mad ways....
And leave them on the shelf.
Today I found my temper.
And I'll keep it under control.
Mom and Dad I promise this....
God help, and bless my soul.
