BE WHO YOU ARE
Somebody might try to tell you that it’s not okay to wear blue
That hurts your feelings to hear that
Cuz they’re your favorite shoes
When you feel bad it gets harder to know just what you should do
Remember what you like matters
Lace ’em up tighter and be who you are
Be who you are
Somebody might see your project and try to tell you it’s weird
You really thought they would like it
You didn’t have any fear
Remember that it doesn’t matter what other people think of you
Be proud of what you created, never give up and
Be who you are
Be who you are
Be who you are
Be who you are
If somebody asks you a question that you don’t know the answer to
You feel all alone and nervous, everyone’s looking at you
You don’t have to have all the answers to be a great student of life
You just have to hold up your lantern and never be scared of your light
Be who you are, Be who you are
Be who you are, Be who you are
Be who you are, Be who you are

SHARE WHAT YOU FIND
Joe cook some food, and do some good
Learn to fix shoes and study a bruise
Enuka paint a picture, make a drawing
Then get some sleep, there’s a new day dawning
Valerie put stars on the ceiling, cause some trouble and say how you’re feeling
Scott look at the sky, don’t ask why
Just say thanks and watch the birds fly
Walker worked on a plan, never ate spam
Steamed some clams and knit a sham
Burt talked to a tree ate his peas
Felt the breeze and knew he was free
I know there’s lots of things to do
You know I’ll share them all with you
Leanna swam fast, had a blast
Honored her past and made it all last
Ava saw the Nile, ran a mile
Kissed a dolphin and made her smile
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
I know there’s lots of things to do
You know I’ll share them all with you
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Keane make your brother some bread and butter
Tell your mother that you love her
Trevor be fierce and be kind
Hear with your heart and share what you find
I know there’s lots of things to do
You know I’ll share them all with you
I know there’s lots of things to do
You know I’ll share them all with you
I know there’s lots of things to do
You know I’ll share them all with you
La la la la la la la

POSTCARD FROM HAWAII
Postcard from Hawaii
The wind is blowing strong
Palm trees out my window
But I won’t stay here long
Now I’m in Australia
Hopping kangaroos
France and Spain, Morocco
Belgium, Belarus
Traveling is my favorite thing to do
So glad you’re coming too
Yeah traveling is my favorite thing to do
So glad you’re coming too!
The food here is so spicy
There’s sand between my toes
The music’s always different
Everywhere I go
Learned a new word for ice cream
And hello and how are you
If you have a smile and can sit for a while
You can make a friend or two
Traveling is my favorite thing to do
So glad you’re coming too
Yeah, traveling is my favorite thing to do
So glad you’re coming too

YOUR TOYS COULD BE BETTER
I love all your movies
The princess girls are smart
They do all kinds of real cool stuff
And they have the biggest hearts
I don’t want to complain now
But I guess I kind of am
The toys you make just don’t make sense
For me and my sister Sam
Cuz they do a lot of things in the movies you see
But I get to the store and there’s nothing for me
Because my play time’s bigger than clothes and tea
And dishes and dolls and baby makes three
Because your toys could be better
I’m writing you a letter!
Take that Cinderella
She’s such a pretty sight
But there’s more to her than dresses
She has adventures in the night
How bout a road trip with the horses and coach
Could she hitch up a trailer with some glittery rope
I’d love to find the step mom and haunt her house
And have something fun to do with that that cute little mouse
Because your toys could be better
I’m writing you a letter!
Take that gal Rapunzel
She’s more than just her hair
She busts out of that tower
Then she’s running through the air
What about a go-cart or a flying trapeze
A magic golden ladder for my arms & knees
And later when you make a toy version of me
I don’t want make up or to be skinny
Because your toys could be better
I’m writing you a letter!
My name is Aurora
You probably know that name
She’s pretty famous for being great
& actually I’m the same
When I grow up I’m a-going to be
Making toys for kids at your company
That have nothing to do with how you look you see
I’ll send you a bill for my thinking fee
Because your toys could be better
I’m writing you a letter!
Because your toys could be better
I’m writing you a letter!

INTO THE GARDEN
She flits into the garden, she knows everywhere I go
But she thinks that it’s all magic, she know ought not where to go
The butterlies are free to fly and the bees just buzz on by
Windswept sunset wonderland for the apple of my eye
She sits, and with her pencil, she draws everything she see
She knows that it’s all magic, and it’s all hers to believe
The butterlies are free to fly and the bees just buzz on by
Windswept sunset wonderland for the apple of my eye
Into the garden, into the garden
Ba ba da ba ba
Magic everywhere
She twirls, spins all around me, I love everywhere she goes
Up into the magic, she goes and goes and grows
The butterlies are free to fly and the bees just buzz on by
Windswept sunset wonderland for the apple of my eye
Into the garden, Into the garden

FEAR OR LOVE
There’s a moment when you feel icky
There’s a moment when you feel doubt
There’s a moment when maybe you’re feeling unsure
But there’s nothing to get upset about
There are only ever two options
It’s only ever one of the above
Remember when you’re choosing how to feel
That there’s only ever fear or love
There’s only fear or love, my friend
It’s only ever fear or love
Remember when you’re deciding how to be
That there’s only ever fear or love
It’s just a matter of opinion, there ain’t no need for right and wrong
There’s a moment when you need to stand up tall
You gotta be clear and strong
There’s only fear or love my friends
There’s only ever one of the above
Remember when you’re choosing how to feel
It’s only ever fear or love
There’s only fear or love, my friend
There’s only ever fear or love
And when you’re deciding how to feel
Remember there’s just fear or love

IT’S NOT FAIR
It’s not fair and I don’t care if you think it is, ’cause it’s not
It’s my turn and it really burns that you don’t give a jot
That’s how I wanna play
So just get out of my way
It’s not fair and I don’t care if you think it is, cause it’s not
That’s my toy and I see your ploy to take it out of my hands
My bucket there, and my shovel there
And all of that’s my sand
So move on out go away
Hey wait, don’t you wanna play
Sorry I got a little carried away
I’ll be fair and I really care if you think I am or not
It’s your turn and I wanna learn to be your friend
So let’s play in the sand, come on take me by the hand
I’ll be fair and I really care if you think I am or not

FREE
Hello world I’ve got something to say
Look at me I figured it out today
Bust outside and look up at the sky
I don’t have to ask cause I know why
Im free to create the world I want to see
I’m making the movie of my life
Guess what – it’s starring me
…And theres nothing in my way….
Something in the air is right today
The sun is melting all my fears away
Im right on track the wind is in my hair
My heart is busting open cause I’ve got something to share:
I’m free to create the world I want to see
Every day its up to me just who I choose to be
…And theres nothing in my way…….

Perfectly Imperfect

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT
Mess ups
Truth
Truth
Mess ups
I can re-write history with gratitude
I can re-write history with gratitude
If your identity is tied to perfection, you won’t allow yourself to mess up
You will deny any messing up you’ve done, vehemently
Allow fickle, allow hiccups, feel, experience
Experience mess ups
I can re-write history
Be instead of pretend, live instead of hide
Stay in self, don’t project
Choose truth choose not illusion, experience not conjecture
Action, not caution, grace & gratitude
Humility and reverence
If your identity is tied to perfection, you create space
A void between self and true experience
A perceived safety zone, but really a cushion against reality
Truth is what’s left when we let our stories go

How To Fly

HOW TO FLY
You brought a stick and a blanket
But I have pillows and a box
And Rae she wants to use paper
What’s she thinking, I’m not clear
Harris brought another shovel
And Kingsley wants to use dirt
None of this fits my plan, but I’m happy we’re all here
But I know it doesn’t matter who or what or even why
‘Cause when we’re all together we will always be surprised
It’s more than you or me, it’s we – that sends us flying high
We’re all here
Rose is thinking of a go-kart
And Violet’s imaging a ship
And Rory wants to build a tiger, or maybe that’s a deer?
Odin’s designing an igloo
And Jones wants to make another fort?
Which idea will we pick? I don’t know, but we’re here
But it doesn’t matter who or what or even why
The fun we make together is the goal the plan, the why
It’s more than you or me, it’s we – who sends us through the sky
We’re all here
First step, say yes
Second step, let go!
A fort can have wheels and fur and snow
Third, make it up as we go
But I know it doesn’t matter who or what or even why
The fun we make together is the goal, the plan the why
‘Cause when we’re all together, surprises make us fly
We’re all here
Yes it doesn’t matter who or what or even why
When we’re all together, we will always be surprised
It’s more than you or me – it’s we that sends us flying high
We’re all here
Starting here
Start right here
Start right now

Question Everything

QUESTION EVERYTHING
I’ve been told how it works and that it works just fine
But maybe there’s a new way, maybe it’s mine
Sometimes, you gotta ask why
I’m gonna speak out it feels kinda scary
But I know it’s the way to be extraordinary
Sometimes, you gotta ask why
Look around and see things are not okay
Let’s do it now create another way
Sometimes you gotta ask why
It might get rough when you speak your mind
But that’s how it works and it’s time to shine
Sometimes you gotta ask why
Question everything
Speak out loud and bring on change
Question everything
Rock that boat again and again
The world needs you and you’ve got the power
What you think matters, and now is the hour
Sometimes, you gotta ask why
Be brave and do it, go and lead the way
Question all the rules and have your say
Sometimes you gotta ask why
Question everything
Speak out loud and bring on change
Question everything
Rock that boat again and again
Uh-huh, oh yeah
Uh-huh, oh yeah
Question everything
Speak out loud and bring on change
Question everything
Rock that boat again and again
Question everything
Speak out loud and bring on change
Question everything
Rock that boat again and again
Uh-huh, oh yeah
Uh-huh, oh yeah
Uh-huh
