It Starts With Me
We’re changing the world, one person at a time.
We’re making it better, don’t you see?
We’re changing the world, one person at a time.
The very first person is me, is me.
For I know it starts with me.
Yes, I know it starts with me.
It starts with me.
(Repeat)
The lessons I learn, I will share with you.
And if you share them, too,
The world will change, the world will grow,
And it’s all because I know.
Oh, I know it starts with me!
Yes, I know it starts with me!
Oh, I know it starts with me!
Yes, I know it starts with me!
It starts with me! It starts with me!
It starts with me! It starts with me____!
Me!
The Road to Freedom
The road to freedom is at my feet.
Down where the crossroads meet.
The road to freedom is by my side,
up where the angels glide.
Oh, freedom calls to me.
Come brothers can’t you see?
Oh, freedom calls to me.
Freedom calls to me.
The road to freedom is at my door,
down by the rocky shore.
The road to freedom is right by me,
up where the birds are free.
Oh, freedom calls to me.
Come sisters can’t you see?
Oh, freedom calls to me.
Freedom calls to me.
The road to freedom is mine to take,
down by the mountain lake.
The road to freedom will help me fly,
up in that golden sky.
Oh, freedom calls to me.
Come children can’t you see?
Oh, freedom calls to me.
Freedom calls to me.
The road to freedom is in my hands,
down where the forest stands.
The road to freedom will take me home,
up where the angels roam.
Oh, freedom calls to me.
Come people can’t you see?
Oh, freedom calls to me.
Freedom calls to me.

Penny Whistle
Give me a flower, tell a little rhyme.
Make a melody and sing it all the time.
Show me a penny, listen to a loon.
Whisper to the wind and play a little tune.
Shine up your penny, jump into the air.
Whistle out a song to castles in the air.
Run in the grass then climb up on a dune.
Touch a hanging cloud and play a little tune.
Penny whistle play a tune.
Play it for the babe with the silver spoon.
Play it for the stars and the man in the moon.
Penny whistle play a tune.
Give me a flower. Tell a rhyme.
Make a melody. Sing all the time.
Show me a penny. Hear the loon.
Whisper to the wind and play a tune.
Shine up your penny. Jump in air.
Whistle out to castles in the air.
Run in the grass. Climb on a dune.
Touch a hanging cloud and play a tune.
Dance With Your Hands
In the sun or the moon,
with the wind or the sand,
You can dance with your feet,
you can dance with your hands.
Anybody can move,
to the sounds of the band.
Simply put out your hands,
you can dance with your hands.
Dance! Dance with your hands!
In the day or the night,
feel the warmth of the sand,
Moving up through your feet,
moving out to your hands.
Hear the sweet melodies,
playing out in the land.
What you hear with your heart,
you can dance with your hands.
Dance! Dance with your hands!
