LITTLE BY LITTLE
Little by little, day by day
I know we're gonna make it
If we try and try again
Little by little, step by step
One foot in front of the other
We keep on no matter how tough it's getting
Little by little we're gaining ground
Little by little we can find our sound
Little by little we'll never lose heart
To try and try again is the best part
Little by little, branch by branch
Leaf by leaf, we're reaching out far
Little by little, row by row
We're dropping in the tiny seeds
And watching em grow
Little by little we're gaining ground
Little by little we can turn this right round
Little by little we'll never lose heart
To try and try again is the best part
Little by little we're gaining ground
Little by little we can rock this town
Little by little we'll never lose heart
To try and try again's the most important part
Fear by fear, doubt by doubt
Worry by worry we can break it down
Joy by joy, grin by grin
Moment by moment letting happiness in
Little by little we're gaining ground
Little by little we can turn this right round
Little by little we'll never lose heart
To try and try again is the best part
Little by little we're gaining ground (little by little)
Little by little we can rock this town (little by little)
Little by little we'll never lose heart (little by little)
To try and try again's the most important part
Roly by poly, scuffle by scuffle
Shuffle by shuffle, tumble by tumble
Move by move, brick by brick
Smidgen by smidgen, inch by inch
Mile by mile, song by song
Breath by breath, all life long
Rhythm by rhythm, beat by beat (rhythm, by, beat)
Letter by letter, dream by dream (by, letter, by, dream)
Little by little we're gaining ground (little, by, little)
Little by little we can climb this mountain (little, by, little)
Little by little we'll never lose heart (little, by, little)
To try and try again is the best part (little, by, little)
Little by little we're gaining ground (little, by, little)
We can rock this whole town

ONLY ONE YOU
365 days in a year
366 in a leap year
7 days in a week, 24 hours a day
But only one you
8 planets in our solar system
9 if you count Pluto - I miss him
Ten fingers and toes I can wriggle
But only one you
One, one, one, one, rare and beautiful
Unique, incredible, never been seen before
Cannot count up the ways that I adore you
One
26 letters in the alphabet
How many stars have we not counted yet?
238 thousand 855 miles to moon (give or take)
But only one you
One, one, one, one, rare and beautiful
Unique, incredible
Never been seen before
Cannot count up the ways that I adore you
One
One world, so many souls
One path, so many roads
One breath in and out again
One heart, so many friends
365 days in a year
366 in a leap year
7 days in a week, 24 hours a day
But only one you
8 planets in our solar system
9 if you count Pluto - I miss him
Ten fingers and toes I can wriggle
But only one you
One, one, one, one, rare and beautiful
Unique, incredible

FIREFLY
Ain’t you just a little ball of light
Make the world glow every time you smile
Light the room up like a buttercup
Oh my little firefly
Talented
Colourful
Brilliant
Indelible
Show-stopper
Spectacular
Unique
That’s what you are
You make me wanna sing out loud
You make me wanna dance around
You make me wanna clap my hands
And throw them in the air
Yeah yeah
Little firefly burning bright
Let the night time buzz with your light
Sparkling, dazzling
Oh my little firefly
Interesting
Imaginative
Street smart
You get what you give
And you give it all
Not a know it all
Just a true blue original
You make me wanna sing out loud
You make me wanna dance around
You make me wanna clap my hands
And throw them in the air
Yeah yeah
You make me wanna sing out loud
You make me wanna dance around
You make me wanna clap my hands
And throw them in the air
Yeah yeah
But if the shadows fall
And you can’t feel the light you’re beaming
If people say mean words
And you don’t even know the word for how you’re feeling
Does the sun know that it shines?
Can a lighthouse see its own light?
Do the stars know we admire them in distant space and time
Don’t you know you’re a firefly?
Interesting
Imaginative
Street smart
You get what you give
And you give it all
Not a know it all
Just a true blue original

Hope is a Verb

HOPE IS A VERB
Hope
Hope is a verb
We create with a word and an action
So much more than a feeling
Hope is a wish
That takes hold in the world
Giving light to the dark
And air to the breathing
Hope is a spell
Potent and powerful
Active and crackling
With fire and fever
Hope is a moment
That brings us together
It’s clear and it’s urgent
It’s cool and it’s clever
Hope, hope is a verb
Hope, hope is a verb
Hope is a change
It’s begins with the way that we speak
To each other, hope is the river
Hope is a prayer
That we all be aware and awake
To the possible, it’s our nature
Hope is a spell
Potent and powerful
Active and crackling
With fire and fever
Hope is a moment
That brings us together
It’s clear and it’s urgent
It’s cool and it’s clever
Hope, hope is a verb
It begins with a word and an action
Hope is a verb
So much more than a feeling
Hope is a force
Like a magnet or gravity calling
And drawing us back to our future
Hope, hope is a verb
Hope, hope is a verb

WINNING
Winning isn’t always coming first
Sometimes it’s doing better than we did before
Beating our own personal top score
Winning isn’t always number one
Second and third are also fun
And in the top ten
We get a feeling when
We’re all winning
I’ll help you out when you’re low
All winning
No one gets left behind in this show
All winning
If I fall down will you pick me up again?
All winning
Can’t get far without our friends
Winning isn’t always being top dog
Maybe winning’s more like leapfrog
If we cheer each other on
Everybody singing their own song
Winning isn’t always being number one
Second, third are also fun
And in the top ten
We get a feeling when
We’re all winning
I’ll help you out when you’re low
All winning
No one gets left behind in this show
All winning
If I fall, will you pick me up again?
All winning
Can’t get far without our friends, yeah
Oh oh, when we ‘re all winning
It’s a good feeling when we’re all winning
(Can’t get by without our friends)
One for the sun and two for the dew
Three for the trees and four for me and you
Five is for striving, six for the kicks
Seven, eight, nine, ten
Can we all begin again
When we’re all winning, oh
It’s a good feeling when we’re all winning
(Can’t get by without our friends)

SUPERHEROES
I met the new kid in my class today
She smiled a lot like me
We both liked video games
She asked me what’s your name?
I invited her to sit by me
I said if you want, I can be your friend
I’ll stick by you through thick and thin and
I know how to make daisy chains
And a real good paper plane
We’ll stick together like glue
She came from far away across the sea
There was a war out there
She said her family just had to leave
The waves were dark and crashing everywhere
She said if you want, I can be your friend
I’ll stick with you through thick and thin
I know how to make tourniquets
And a real good paper plane
We’ll stick together like glue
We’ll light the darkest shadows
We’ll take on all the bullies
We’ll take the world on like superheroes (superheroes)
We’ll light the darkest shadows
Now everywhere we go
We tell everyone we meet
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been
Only where you’re going to
And if you’ve got a smile
Use it to break down walls
And If you got peace
Peace is the biggest prize of all
So light the darkest shadows
We’ll take on all the bullies
We’ll take the world on like superheroes
We’ll light the darkest shadows
We’ll light the darkest shadows
I was the new kid in my class today
One of the other girls smiled at me
We both liked video games
I asked her what’s your name
And now the rest is history

The crispy crust of my chocolate brownie
You make miso happy

Pineapple singing a tune

Focus on the Good

FOCUS ON THE GOOD
I am a star
I focus on the good, the good gets better
Focus on the ditch, the ditch gets deeper
So lighten the load, keep my eyes on the road
Don’t believe it if they say the story’s been told
I focus on the light, the light gets brighter
Focus on the dark it’ll try to pull me under
So maybe it’s time
To mind for my mind
Sing a little mantra of the positive kind
I am enough
I am joy and I am love
I am brave and I am calm
I am kind and I am strong
I am a seed
Growing exponentially
I am shining, I’m a star
I am grateful with all my heart
I focus on the future and the future expands
Don’t forget the past, ancestors guide my hands
Help me to remember the connection to the
Stars and the sky and sea and the land
Focus on the soil and the garden I’m planting
Focus on the little things and big things happen
Bloom when I’m ready
Keep my hands steady
The biggest gift is knowing I’m enough already
I am enough
I am joy and I am love
I am brave and I am calm
I am kind and I am strong
I am a seed
Growing exponentially
I am shining, I’m a star
I am grateful with all my heart
I am enough
I am joy and I am love
I am brave and I am calm
I am kind and I am strong
I am a seed
Growing exponentially
I am shining, I’m a star
I am grateful with all my heart
I focus on the good, the good gets better
Focus on the light, the light gets brighter
Lighten the load
Keep my eyes on the road
The world is waiting for a story that hasn’t been told

OPPOSITE MIRACLES
Oooh
Up is the opposite of down
Smile is the opposite of frown
Easy is the opposite of difficult
And miracles are everywhere if we look around
Big is the opposite of small
Short is the opposite of tall
Quick is the opposite of slow
And no matter where you go
You’re my favourite miracle
Oooh opposite
Oooh miracles
Hot is the opposite of cold
Stop is the opposite of go
Early is the opposite of late
And love wins over hate
That’s a miracle you know
Oooh opposite
Oooh miracles
Real is the opposite of fake
Give is the opposite of take
Hopeful is the opposite of hopeless
So blessed
Miracles are what we make
Silence is the opposite of sound
Humble is the opposite of proud
Falling is the opposite of flying
And we’re all miracles dreamed out loud
Oooh opposite
Oooh miracles
Oooh opposite
Oooh miracles

SCOOTER
I got my scooter, got my helmet on
I’m gonna ride it until the day is gone
So are you coming? We’re going up to school
And all our friends will be there
And it’s gonna gonna be cool
I’m growing super fast
Choose my own road
All the way to Sydney and Tokyo
Got my backpack and a travel guitar
Promise I’ll call you when I get there
I’ll make my own rock band
When we get a record you can be our number 1 fan
Just watch me go
Watch me go
I got my scooter I got my helmet on
I’m gonna ride it until the day is gone
Are you coming? The world is wide
And your wheels are waiting
So get your helmet on
Just watch me go
Watch me go
I got my scooter, I got my helmet on
I’m gonna ride it until the day is gone
I’m growing super fast
Choose my own road
All the way to Sydney and Tokyo
Got my backpack and a travel guitar
Promise I’ll call you when I get there
I’ll make my own rock band
When we get a record you can be our number 1 fan
Just watch me go
Watch me go
