Walk, Shepherdess, Walkby Eleanor Farjeon
Walk, Shepherdess, walk, and I'll walk tooTo find the ram with the ebony horn and the gold footed eweThe lamb with the fleece of silver, like summer sea foamAnd the wether with the crystal bell that leads them all home.Walk, Shepherdess, Walk, and I'll walk too,And if we never find them, I sha'n't mind, shall you?

Where Every Girl Has a Voicewords and music by Melinda Caroll
1st VerseI have my own voice, I dream my own dreams;I make my own choice, To follow or to lead.And I want to live my life becoming a part of a better world,Through the beauty of her every song, through the voice of each girl.
ChorusAnd I belong to a rainbow of nations, Peace is the road I am taking.
And I am strong making my own choice,Where every girl has a voice.
2ndI see through a young girl's eyes, I feel through a woman's touch;I reach across time and space, Toward a vision I hold for much.And we may look different, But in our hearts our desire's the same,And the light we may shine in this world is one single flame.
ChorusAnd we belong to a rainbow of nations. Peace is the road we are taking.And we are strong making our own choice,Where every girl has a voice.
BridgeIn the darkest night there'll always be, hope for a new tomorrow.When voices of this global village lead, here find the dreams we will follow.

PUNUAby Melinda Caroll
1st VerseSomewhere near an island in the deep blue sea,There lives a green sea turtle off of Waikiki.A friend to fish and man, in her ocean wonderland;Punua is the spirit of the sea.
With dolphin friends and whales she swims the dancing waves,And basking in the sun, is how she spends her days.She lives a life so free, I’m sure you would agree,How lucky are these turtles of the Sea.
CHORUSPu- nu- a*“He pu-na-wai ka-he wa-le ke A-lo-ha.” Respect the life that lives,Give what you can give,Remembering Punua of the Sea.
3rd VerseEveryday Punua swims she often findsSomething in the waters there that’s most unkind.Forgotten fishing nets, and garbage, that’s a threatTo her and all her friends beneath the sea.
So Punua sends a message to her friends above,“Won’t you please remember us and send your love?”And help us to restore, our lovely ocean floor;Keep the waters clean for everyone.
*The name Punua is a Hawaiian variation of the name “Juliette”* The Hawaiian phrase, “He pu-na-wai ka-he wa-le ke a-lo-ha” translates to mean: “Love is a spring that flows freely.” Or, “Love is without bounds and exits for all.”

The Bear SongSource unknown
The Other day, I met a bear,Out in the woods, away up there.
He looked at me, I looked at him.He sized up me, I sized up him.
He said to me, “Why don’t you run?I see you ain’t got any gun!”
And so I ran, away from there,But right behind, me was that bear!
Ahead of me, there was a tree;A great big tree, Oh Glory be!
The nearest branch, was ten feet up. I had to jump, and trust my luck!
And so I jumped, into the airBut I missed that branch, away up there!
Now don’t you fret, and don’t you frown,‘Cause I caught that branch on the way back down!
This is the end, there ain’t no more,Unless I meet that bear once more!
The end , the end, the end , the end,The end , the end, the end , the end!

The Wind Beneath My Wingsby Larry Henley & Jeff Silbar©1984 WB Gold Music Corp. (ASCAP) & Warner House of Music (BMI)
1st VerseIt must have been cold there in my shadow,To never have sunlight on your face.You were the one who let me shine.You always walked one step behind.
2nd VerseI was the one with all the glory.While you were the one withall the strength.A beautiful face without a name, I never once heard you complain.
ChorusDid you ever know that you’re my hero?And everything I would like to be?Well, I can fly higher than an eagle,‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
3rd VerseIt may have appeared to go unnoticedBut I’ve got it all here in my heart.I want you to know I know the truth,That I would be nothing without you.

The Ash GroveWelsh Traditional
1st VerseDown yonder green valley where streamlets meander,When twilight is fading I pensively roveOr at the bright noontide in solitude wanderAmid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove.Tis there where the blackbird is cheerfully singing,Each warbler enchants with his notes from the tree;Ah, then little think I of sorrow or sadness,The Ash Grove entrancing spells beauty for me.
2nd VerseThe Ash Grove how graceful, how plainly ‘tis speaking.The harp though its playing has language for me.Whenever the light through its branches is breakingA host of kind faces is gazing at me.The friends of my childhood again are before meEach step wakes a memory as freely I roam.With soft whispers laden, its leaves rustle o’re meThe Ash Grove, the Ash Grove alone is my home
