Hello! Hello!
Hello, friends! Hello, hands!
Hello! Hello!
Hands can wave, and hands can clap!
Can they touch your toes?
Can they touch your nose?
Hello! Hello!
Hello, friends! Hello, feet!
Hello! Hello!
They can walk you right down the street.
Can they spin you around?
Can they dance on the ground?
Hello! Hello!
Hello, friends! It’s good to see you!
Hello! Hello!
Hello, friends!
Hello!

Made out of Love
02:03
|
|||
|
I love you, and you love me, too.
Even when we forget it, we’re all made out of love.
Yes, I love you, and you love me, too.
Even when we forget it, we’re all made out of love.
We’re babies, even when we’re grown.
Reaching for a hand to hold.
Hungry for a home.
Yes, we’re babies, even when we’re grown.
Reaching for a hand to hold.
Hungry for a home.

Friends
02:40
|
|||
|
There was a time.
There was a little one.
A little human child on a big ball, spinning ‘round.
Grow, and learn to be with all beings.
Friends with no legs, friends with two legs, friends with four.
Friends with roots and leaves.
Friends with wings.
Friends with fins, in water.
Friends under the ground.
And the mountains and rocks are friends,
and the rivers and rainclouds.
And we all depend on each other for our lives.
We’re all related; we share one home.
We’re all notes in the song of life.
How could we be alone?
We all need the living soil, clean air and water,
and love for our planetary family, so we all can thrive.
There was a time.
May this time be now.
Life is for learning.
May we all remember how.

Clouds
02:52
|
|||
|
Clouds are fluffy, floating high
Water hanging in the sky
Hide the Sun or drop the rain
Changing shape while passing by
Sometimes wispy
Sometimes twisty
Sometimes covering the world
So foggy, misty
See a big, white whale melt into a mountain
Or maybe some cotton candy flowing from a fountain
Is there snow inside?
Is there lightning?
Sometimes soft and friendly
Sometimes frightening

Water
02:52
|
|||
|
Water, water everywhere.
Deep underground, way up in the air.
Water, water all around.
Water in you and me.
Rain and river, snow and stream.
Oceans waving in our dreams.
Water remembers, water is life.
Living in you and me.
Water is frozen, water is wet.
Water is steam, and tears, and sweat.
Water in air, and sun shining through.
A rainbow for me and you.

Picture a Boat
02:59
|
|||
|
Picture a boat.
Now, how well does it float?
They say the tide is turning.
Everyone, take note.
So, grab an oar, and climb aboard.
Now, we’re pushing off,
pushing off from shore.
Raise the sails, and the winds of change will fill them.
We’ll be rocked by waves until time will still them.
Building a boat.
Now, how well does it float?
The water’s creeping, climbing like a mountain goat.
We may find ourselves far, far from dry land.
Can we read the map of stars, or the lines of our hands?
Earth is a boat,
and through space she spins and floats,
like a feather, like a whisper,
like a note.

What does the Train say?
02:20
|
|||
|
What does the train say?
Choo choo choo choo choo choo!
What does the train say?
Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo!
I roll along the track
(choo choo choo choo choo choo)
and carry boxcars on my back
(chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo)
I get my power from the locomotive
Using diesel, electric, or steam
I cross countries, around the world
Day and night, running through your dreams

Song for the Dinosaurs
03:34
|
|||
|
You could be walking around, feeling all alone
But under the ground there might be dinosaur bones
*Stand up tall, like a dinosaur
Take a deep breath
Then, let out a ROAR!
And sing a song for the dinosaurs,
Because the dinos aren’t around anymore
They lived a long time ago
And you might have heard
They were related to lizards
They were related to birds
*
Some had wings
Some were small
Others as tall as a tree
Some ran while some crawled
Some swam in the sea
*

Dino Rock
03:05
|
|||
|
Dino Rock! Dino Rock!
Everybody’s doing the Dino Rock!
T Rex wave your tiny arms!
Pterodactyl flyin’ around!
Brontosaurus, long neck swaying!
Stegosaurus, swing your spiky tail!
Diplodocus, stomp your feet!
Velociraptor, run really fast!

Has anybody seen my hat?
03:41
|
|||
|
Hey, hey, hey, has anybody seen my hat?
It likes to sit up on my head.
Now, what do you think of that?
Well, I took it off and set it over there.
I left the room, but when I returned, I couldn’t find it anywhere.
Then a dog was walkin' by; a hat was on his head.
“Maybe that hat is my hat,” I softly said.
So, I set off after the dog, to see if the hat was mine.
But when I got closer, I saw it was a different kind.
So, I said:
“Hey, hey, hey…”
Then a cat was passing by; a hat was on her head.
“That sure does look like my hat” I softly said.
So, I called out, “hey, Miss Cat,” and she responded to my call.
But when she turned to look at me, that hat was much too tall.
So, I said:
“Hey, hey, hey…”
Then I saw a beaver, busy at his task.
"Could he be the hat thief?" I had to ask.
But when I approached him, no hat did I find.
I had judged him harshly.
I had been unkind.
So, I said:
"Hey, hey, hey..."
I heard a possum rustling in a tree.
I turned around, and she looked down at me, sayin’:
“I have the answer to the question in your song.
Your hat is on your head, and it has been all along!”
So, I said:
“Hey, hey, hey! I finally found my hat!
It was here, on my head, the whole time.
Now, what do you think of that?”

Do the Elephant!
02:52
|
|||
|
Can you feel your body covered with thick, grey, wrinkly skin?
Can you flap your big ears, to fan yourself with them?
Can you use your nose to pick things up, just like a hand?
Well, an elephant can!
Yes, an elephant can!
So, do the elephant!
Stomp your feet!
Swing your trunk!
Flap your ears!
Do the elephant!

Ladybug
02:58
|
|||
|
Hello, little ladybug in your dress of red.
Hello, little ladybug in the flowerbed.
You could eat those aphids for a snack.
And we’re so glad to have you back.
Dance, little ladybug.
Dance through the clover.
Dance, little ladybug.
Invite your friends over.
We are singing a Springtime song.
And you know you can sing along.
|

Spin, little Spider
01:57
|
|||
|
Spin, little spider, spin your thread.
Then weave, little spider, weave your web.
Here comes a human walking through.
Now she’s wearing your web.
What can you do?
Just spin, little spider, spin your thread.
Then weave, little spider, weave your web.
It’s almost invisible.
Yeah, that’s the deal.
A little fly came buzzing through.
Now he’s your meal.
So, spin…

I'm a Snail
02:07
|
|||
|
I’m a snail.
I’m a snail.
I’m a snail.
Follow my shiny trail.
I’m slimy; slimy and slow.
My shell is my home.
I carry it with me wherever I go.
The fox runs fast!
But I’m movin’ slow.
The owl flies fast!
But I’m movin’ slow.
The snake slithers fast!
But I’m still movin’ slow.
I’m a snail.

What kind of seed are you?
What will you grow into?
Underground, growing roots.
Turn sun and rain into flowers and fruits.
Chia seed, pumpkin seed, beans and corn.
Plants make seeds, that's how new plants are born.
Maple seeds are samaras, spinning through the air.
Oak seeds are acorns, and a squirrel planted one over there.

Goodbye
00:56
|
|||
|
Bye bye, goodbye.
Clap your hands!
Stomp your feet!
Bye bye, goodbye.
Goodbye friends, ‘til the next time we meet.
