I’m a World Citizen

I’M A WORLD CITIZEN
Chorus:
I’m a world citizen.
Step up and shake my hand.
I’m not just from Wisconsin.
I’m not just American.
I’m a world citizen . . .
Home the whole world round!
You and I can break those borders down!

Verse 1:
From Timbuktu to Lima, Peru,
From Shanghai to Nepal,
From the deadly bends in old Berlin,
To the ancient China wall,
From Tyrai to Belivastosk,
From Cairo to Cape Town,
From Sidney to Seattle,
I’ve got neighbors the whole world round!
Chorus

Verse 2:
You can pick up a phone to most anywhere and call up Singapore.
You can get on a plane at Minorca, Spain and fly to El Salvador
The world keeps getting smaller,
And we keep getting strong,
But we’re not getting anywhere if we don’t get along.
Chorus

Verse 3:
There’s always confrontation,
You just might disagree.
You can be a world citizen and not think just like me.
We’re all riding on the same train
With a lot of work to do.
But, no one’s just a passenger,
Everyone’s part of the crew!
Chorus

Verse 3:
People all around the world
Are looking for peace to come.
We’re every shade of the rainbow.
We’re big and better ones.
We’re joining hands together.
Our voices sound out strong. Help us build a peaceful world
And help us sing this song.
chorus

 

 

We are the World

We Are The World

There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can’t go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We’re all a part of God’s great big family
And the truth – you know love is all we need

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

Well, send them you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

When you’re down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let’s realize
That one change can only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

The Singing River

The Singing River

There’s a river that runs down through the canyon,
That is high in the mountains of the West.
Clear mountain water rushing down through the valley,
It’s a river of Mother Nature’s best

Chorus:
And it sings, that singing river.
And it sings to you and me,
Yes, it sings, that singing river,
As it rolls through the valley to the sea.

Verse 2:
It’s a river that dances in the sunlight,
As it plunges through the canyon white with corn.
Clear mountain water rushing down through the valley
As it rolls by my singing river home.
Chorus

Verse 3:
As it crosses the prairie it grows wider and wider.
As it flows through the city, it grows still.
As it passes the factories it grows sadder and sadder
As it’s waters with garbage, start to fill.

Verse 4:
If the river is going to last forever
Then it’s going to take all of us to care.
Clean mountain water rushing down through the valley
Will take all of us to keep it there.
Chorus

Swing on a Star

by | Feb 7, 2018 | Music

Would You Like to Swing on a Star

Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a MULE.

A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears.
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He’s just plain stupid with a stubborn streak.
So by the way if you hate to go to school
You might grow up to be a mule

Chorus

Or would you rather be a PIG
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He’s fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don’t give a feather or a fig
You might grow up to be a pig

Chorus

Or would you rather be a FISH
A fish don’t do anything but swim in a brook
He can’t write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he’s slippery he still get’s caught.
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You might grow up to be a fish.

Chorus:
And all the monkeys aren’t in the zoo
Every day I see quite a few
So you see it’s all up to you
You could be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star

I’m Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover

by | Feb 7, 2018 | Music

I’m looking over a foul leaf clover
That I overlooked before.
One is for sunshine,
The other for rain,
One for the roses that bloom in the Lane.

No use explaining,
The one remaining
Is someone that I adore!
I’m looking over a four leaf clover.
That I overlooked before!

 

 

 

My Favorite Tongue Twisters

by | Feb 7, 2018 | Music

 

Alice asks for axes.

A big bug bit a bold bald bear.

Bad black bran bread

Big ben blue big blue bubbles

Can you catch a can canner canning a can?

Crisp, crust, crackles

Ape cakes, grape cakes

Cheap sheep soup

A dozen dim ding-dongs

How much dew would a dew drop drop if a dew drop could drop dew

Cinnamon, aluminum, linoleum

Freckled faced Freddie fidgets.

Try fat flat flounders

Fran feeds fish fresh fish food.

A fat free fruit float

A flee and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned so what could they do?
Said the flee “Let us fly”
Said the fly “Let us flee”
So they flew through a flaw in the flue!

Grandma’s great glass globe glows green.

Hiccup, teacup

Ike ships ice chips in ice chip ships.

June sheep sleep soundly

Come kick six sticks quick

Keenly cleaning copper kettles

Larry sent the latter a letter later

Red leather yellow leather

I miss my Swiss miss
My Swiss miss misses me

Much mashed mushrooms

Moses supposes his toeses are roses
But Moses he knowses his toeses aren’t roses
As moses supposes his toses to be

Nancy knits Nicks knickers

Nine nimble noblemen nibble nuts

Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

A pack of pesky pixies

Pooped purple pelicans

Double bubble gum bubbles double

Busy buzzing bumble bees

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Fresh fish fried fish
Fried fish fresh fish
Fresh fried fish

Gray geese graze in the green green grass

Round the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran

Are you really ready Raleigh?

Rubber baby buggy bumpers

Mamma made me mash my M & M ‘s
Nine new nosy noisy annoying neighbors

Orange jello, lemon jello, yellow jello

Poppa picked a pot of peas
Poppa picked plenty peas

She sells sea shells by the seashore

Three free throws

A tooter who tooted a flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot
Said the two to their tutor
“Is it harder to toot than to tutor two tooters to toot?

Never trouble about trouble till trouble troubles you.

Twelve twins twirled twelve twigs

Tie three tree twigs

Betty loves the velvet vest best.

Zebras zig and zebras zag

I saw a saw that could out saw any other saw I ever saw.

A baby black bug bit a big black bear

Red bulb, blue bulb

A sailor went to sea to see what he could see, but all the sailor saw was the sea sea sea

Purple paper people

A skunk sat on a stump.
The stump thought the skunk stunk.
The skunk thought the stump stunk

Friendly fleas and fire flies

Penny’s pretty pink piggy bank

Crackle crunch crisp crust

Freshly fried fat fling fish

You’ve no need to light a nightlight on a light night like tonight.

Big Billy that had a big belly was also a big bully.

A canner exceedingly canny, on morning remarked to his granny,
A canner can can anything that he can, but a canner can’t can a can, can he?

1 happy hen
2 daffy ducks
3 fat fleas
4 furry foxes

A big bug bit a bold bald bear.
Bad black bran bread
Big Ben blue big blue bubbles
A flea and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned so what could they do?
Said the flea “Let us fly”
Said the fly “Let us flea”
So they flew through a flaw in the flue!
Busy buzzing bumble bees
