Sing a Rainbow

Red and yellow and pink and green
purple and orange and blue

I can sing a rainbow
sing a rainbow
sing a rainbow too

Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes
and sing everything you see

You can sing a rainbow
sing a rainbow
sing along with me


Last time Now we can…

Wade in the water ~ Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Wade in the water
wade in the water children
wade in the water
a long way from home                           

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
sometimes I feel like a motherless child
sometimes I feel like a motherless child
a long way from home


There was an old witch

There was an old witch,
Believe it if you can,
She tapped on the window
And she ran, ran, ran.
She ran helter, skelter,
With her toes in the air,
cornstalks flying
From the old witch’s hair.

“Swish,” goes the broomstick,
“Meow,” goes the cat,
“Plop,” goes the hop-toad
Sitting on her hat.
“Wee,” chuckled I,
“What fun, fun, fun!”
Hallowe’en night

When the witches run.

Firework

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?
Drifting through the wind,
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin?

Like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep
six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you,you just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y!

Baby, you're a firework!

Come on, let your colours burst

Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"

You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe!.

You don't have to feel like a wasted space You're original, cannot be replaced

If you only knew what the future holds

After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow And when it's time you'll know
You just gotta
ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
