hide and seek by smallnice

Wikipedia: "Hide-and-seek is a popular children's game in which at least two players (usually at least three) [1] conceal themselves in a set environment, to be found by one or more seekers. The game is played by one player chosen (designated as being "it") closing their eyes and counting to a predetermined number while the other players hide. After reaching this number, the player who is "it" calls "Ready or not, here I come!" or "Coming, ready or not!" and then attempts to locate all concealed players. [2]

The game can end in one of several ways. The most common way of ending is the player chosen as "it" locates all players; the player found first is the loser and is chosen to be "it" in the next game. The player found last is the winner. Another common variation has the seeker counting at "home base"; the hiders can either remain hidden or they can come out of hiding to race to home base; once they touch it, they are "safe" and cannot be tagged. In Ohio, a hider must yell "free" when he touches base or he can still be tagged out. But if the seeker tags another player before reaching home base, that person becomes "it", or "the seeker".

The game is an example of an oral tradition, as it is commonly passed by children."

lyrics

The countdown starts – we run away – Find a cranny – to be no prey

Common, get lost – I was here first – There is no room for two – The hide-out is gonna burst

Find your place – Take your space – Hide and seek – Find the invisible clique

The seeker scans – Duck your head – If he gets you – You will be dead

Closed my eyes – So I can’t see – If I can’t see you – You can’t see me

Find your place – Take your space – Hide and seek – Find the invisible clique

The hunted knows – Everyone for himself – This is no game – No one’s an elf

A person is a mask – Hiding the souls – Don’t read my face – The play casts roles

Find your place – Take your space – Hide and seek – Find the invisible clique
