Me and My Very Best Friend - MAR 2012Peter S Ogden Elementary, 3rd and 4th graders: Vancouver, WA
Me and My Very Best Friend - MAR 2012
In second grade I tripped and fell
I dropped my food I embarrassed myself
I was laying there on the ground
Dirty upset and down
Then all of a sudden from out of the blue
A familiar helping hand came through
They picked me up and I knew

Who helps me
Who makes me happy
I’ll tell you who my very best friend
Who do I call when I need someone to talk to
I’ll tell you who my very best friend
Who knows all my secrets my hopes and my dreams
Who am I there for when they are in need
We’ll be together until the end me and my very best friend

I got a phone call just the other day
My best friend said I’m moving to another state
I started crying I couldn’t stop
Didn’t want to lose the best friend I’ve got
One last sleep over and then we’d say goodbye
Exchanging our numbers when just in time
The parents changed their minds

Who helps me
Who makes me happy
I’ll tell you who my very best friend
Who do I call when I need someone to talk to
I’ll tell you who my very best friend
Who knows all my secrets my hopes and my dreams
Who am I there for when they are in need
We’ll be together until the end me and my very best friend

I Have a Dream - MAR 2012Peter S Ogden Elementary, 5th graders: Vancouver, WA
I Have a Dream - MAR 2012
I have a dream that’s wild and free
Where anything is possible
And in my dream the world is at peace
And all our problems are solvable
It’s easy to see
It starts with you and me

Together is better than apart
United we can find the strength to start
Making this dream a reality

I have a dream where somehow we
All find our place in the world
Helping each other like sisters and brothers
Every man and woman, every boy and girl
It’s easy to see
It starts with you and me

Together is better than apart
United we can find the strength to start
Making this dream a reality

Nobody Quite Like You - MAR 2012Chinook Elementary, 3rd Graders: Vancouver WA
Nobody Quite Like You - MAR 2012
Everybody wants to fit in
Do what it takes to be the popular kid
But I have to say at my school
Just being who you are is perfectly cool

We have our differences but we're all friends
When somebody's down we remind them

You're one of a kind you're an original
Just being yourself you're something special
You can shine like the stars there's no telling how far you will go
It's true. No one can do what you do
There's nobody quite like you

Everybody can sparkle
Be really brilliant and remarkable
We're all talented in different ways
If you're not good at something it's okay

Don't try to be a copycat where's that at
Always remember that

You're one of a kind you're an original
Just being yourself you're something special
You can shine like the stars there's no telling how far you will go
It's true. No one can do what you do
There's nobody quite like you

Don't try to change yourself for someone else
Be who you want to be
Stay on the road you're on singing your own song, pretty soon the World will see

You're one of a kind you're an original
Just being yourself you're something special
You can shine like the stars there's no telling how far you will go
It's true. No one can do what you do
There's nobody quite like you

In Our Family - DEC 2011
Every morning when we come to class
We sharpen our pencils and prepare to work
There’s reading, writing, and math to do
You help me, I help you
We’re a community of learners
We always do our best
We’re in this together
And we’re up to the test

In our family we treasure honesty
We always tell the truth
Even when it’s hard to do
In our family it’s easy to see
We’re like sisters and brothers
We care about each other
In our family

Our teachers are just amazing
They’re here to help us achieve our goals
We value each other, we show respect
We practice forgiveness
On the road to success

In our family we treasure honesty
We always tell the truth
Even when it’s hard to do
In our family it’s easy to see
We’re like sisters and brothers
We care about each other
In our family
In our family
We’re like family

My Anger Belongs to Me - DEC 2011Students at PS 14: Staten Island, NY
My Anger Belongs to Me - DEC 2011
My anger belongs to me
I’m in control of everything I do
My anger is like a fence
That holds me back from hurting me and you

When I feel frustrated
When I get aggravated
I breathe in, I breathe out
And I try to think about it
I take ownership of my emotions
I put my thinking into motion
And I’m okay

My anger belongs to me
I’m in control of everything I do
My anger is like a fence
That holds me back from hurting me and you

When someone lies to me
It drives me crazy
When someone talks about my mother
Or my father
It’s hard to keep my rage in check
So I count to ten
I find comfort in
The fact that I won’t cross that line
That ends badly every time

My anger belongs to me
I’m in control of everything I do
My anger is like a fence
That holds me back from hurting me and you

Never Ending - OCT 2011Charlotte, NC students and Steve Seskin
Never Ending - OCT 2011
Seven forty-five on the school bus
Hey, look over there
There’s a kid who’s cussin’ 
And pullin' the new kid’s hair
I wanna stand up
I wanna say something
But I’m trembling with fear
I’m just hoping he doesn’t come over here
And then I heard a little voice
Say, “you have a choice”

You can sit and watch it happen
Or you can choose to take some action
Stand up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves

All of a sudden a bunch of us got up
And walked right up to that kid
Five voices strong told him it was wrong
Stop doin’ this, and he did

You can sit and watch it happen
Or you can choose to take some action
Stand up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves

It’s a never ending battle
But we must fight for what is right
Let’s replace the hate and cruelty
With kindness, love and light

If we can find the path to peace
I believe that it will be never ending
The very next day in the cafeteria
She was sitting all alone
I walked over and sat next to her
I gave her an ice cream cone
She remembered me
She smiled at me

You can sit and watch it happen
Or you can choose to take some action
Stand up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves

It’s a never ending battle
But we must fight for what is right
Let’s replace the hate and cruelty
With kindness, love and light
If we can find the path to peace
I believe that it will be never ending
Never ending

Let's Get Along - APR 2011East Lake Elementary, 3rd graders: Clearlake Oaks, CA
Let's Get Along - APR 2011
If I were in charge everybody would be nice
No one would ever be mean
If I had my way there wouldn't be any fights
I'd invent a kindness machine

and everyone would think before they acted
and they talked things over when they disagreed
everyone would share everyone would care
and when they spoke they'd choose their words carefully

Lets sing a song that never ends
that brings a smile to every face
lets get along lets all be friends and make the world a better place

When I'm on the playground at my school
I play fair and square and always wait my turn
and if someone doesn't know how to play a game
I help them learn

and at lunch if I see someone sitting all alone
I sit down next to them and say hello
and when one of my classmates needs help with their math
I try to teach them evrything I know

Lets sing a song that never ends
that brings a smile to every face
lets get along lets all be friends and make the world a better place

I have a dream that someday
There will be no more war and everone will say

Lets sing a song that never ends that brings a smile to every face
lets get along lets all be friends and make the world a better place

Never Give Up - APR 2011East Lake Elementary, Mrs. Chisam's 7th and 8th graders: Clearlake Oaks, CA
Never Give Up - APR 2011
In my last basketball game we were getting’
stomped.
It was half-time. We were down by 23.
My team looked pale, and weak, and broken.
The coach came in the locker room and these words
were spoken:

Never give up, never give up, never give up, _________
Never give up, never give up, never give up, _________

When all the stars in the sky are refusing to shine,
And you’re at the end of your rope,
Never give up, never give up, never give up, HOPE.

Halfway across the world there was an earthquake,
And the tsunami that came was even worse. I saw
the survivors on TV
And it made me feel lucky that it wasn’t me,
But I wanted to help, so I sent some money and a
note that said:

Never give up, never give up, never give up, _________
Never give up, never give up, never give up, _________

When all the stars in the sky are refusing to shine,
And you’re at the end of your rope,
Never give up, never give up, never give up, HOPE.

Someone in my family is pretty sick.
When I visit them, I don’t know what to say.
They look pale, and weak, and broken
And I’m thinking to myself and hoping that they’ll
see another day And I say:

Never give up, never give up, never give up, _________
Never give up, never give up, never give up, _________

When all the stars in the sky are refusing to shine,
And you’re at the end of your rope, Never give up, never give up, never give up, HOPE.

There's 4 weeks in a month and 12 months in a year
Jan,Feb,March,April and May June,July Aug and September

Year after year
I'm glad I'm here
at East Lake school
cause it's so cool

We study geometric shapes like rectangles and squares circles cones and cubes
and did you know that 2 x 4 is 8 and 8 divided by 2 is 4
Fractions are my favorite thing 1/3 of 3 is one and 3/4s of 4 is three.
Every afternoon we do animal projects
We study what they eat and their habitats
Sharks live in the ocean they eat seals and a lot of fish
Cheetahs are much faster than some cars and elephants never forget

Year after year
I'm glad I'm here
at East Lake school
cause it's so cool

We love our teachers they help us learn everything

Year after year
I'm glad I'm here

Attitude is Everything - APR 2011
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Last nights drama still runnin through my head
I got to school in a bad mood
My teacher said “What’s up dude”?

Attitude is everything
with a good one you can do anything
dare to make your dreams come true
dare to be a better you
everyday gotta find a way
to paint your grey skies blue
attitude is everything

By lunchtime I was feeling fine
I sat down at the table and a friend of mine
said this pulled pork sandwich is nasty
I said put some bbq sauce on it and it’ll be yummy

Attitude is everything
with a good one you can do anything
dare to make your dreams come true
dare to be a better you
everyday gotta find a way
to paint your grey skies blue
attitude is everything

next time I see someone in a bad mood
I’ll try to make them see a different point of view

I’m tryin to be
The best me that I can be
I’m a believer, I am a dreamer
You could say I’m a high achiever
I care about you, I care about me
Everyone on the planet is my family

I wanna be someone who people look up to
I wanna do something with my life
I wanna be someone who people can count on
Who knows the difference between wrong and right
Caring, courageous, respectful, and brave
A leader who listens, who’s not afraid...
I wanna be someone,
I wanna be someone.

I always try to be kind,
I try to be fair
When it comes to helping others, I’m there
I’m independent, I’m a contender
If someone’s getting bullied, I’m a defender
I’m going somewhere wait and see
I’m becoming a person I’m proud to be

I wanna be someone who people look up to
I wanna do something with my life
I wanna be someone who people can count on
Who knows the difference between wrong and right
Caring, courageous, respectful, and brave
A leader who listens, who’s not afraid...
I wanna be someone,
I wanna be someone.

Everyone Has A Voice - APR 2011
In this world there's too much fighting,
Teasing, taunting, screaming, shouting
Seems to me that people should be
Caring, sharing, saying nice things to each other
We're all sisters and brothers

Everyone has a voice
And I'm using mine to spread a little kindness
Everyone has a choice
And I choose to try to make a big difference
I won't use my words to hurt someone else
I will speak up for someone who can't speak for themself
Everyone
Everyone has a voice

Just today I heard some people saying
Something to someone that made them cry
I decided to be a defender
To stick up for them I said that’s not nice
That’s not right

Everyone has a voice
And I'm using mine to spread a little kindness
Everyone has a choice
And I choose to try to make a big difference
I won't use my words to hurt someone else
I will speak up for someone who can't speak for themself

Eat my breakfast and brush my teeth
Pick my clothes out

I wonder what we’ll do this morning
I’ve got a positive attitude
Grab my backpack, head out the door
I’m off to school

Where everyday (everyday) I do my best (I do my best)
I try to make good choices
And everyday (everyday) I show respect (I show respect)
I listen and I learn

I’m an inspiration
I’m working hard to get a good education
Everyday (everyday), everyday (everyday), everyday

I love math and social studies
Reading and writing but science rocks
Experiments and investigations
Ooooo
At recess I play tag and kickball
I practice teamwork with my friends
I always share my Takis with them

Everyday (everyday) I do my best (I do my best)
I try to make good choices
And everyday (everyday) I show respect (I show respect)
I listen and I learn
I’m my own creation
I’m an inspiration
I’m working hard to get a good education
Everyday (everyday), everyday (everyday), everyday

I watch my words
I control myself

I don’t do hurtful things
To anyone else

Everyday (everyday) I do my best (I do my best)
I try to make good choices
And everyday (everyday) I show respect (I show respect)

Today's a New Day - MAR 2011
On Tuesday we took an algebra test
talk about a mess
I was afraid I got an F
yesterday I found out I got a C
next time I hope to get a B no less
This morning when I got to school my teacher said
don't worry about that test - it wasn't your best but

Today's a new day
full of possibilities
endless opportunities
another chance to shine
Today's a new day
opening a brand new door
better than the one before 
today isn't yesterday
Today's a new day

Last week I had a fight with my friend
and I'm still wondering if and when
it's gonna end
Right now, I'm at my basketball game
my friend just called out my name and said
I'm sorry for the things I said
I'm tired of being mad
I wish we could be friends...again
and I thought

Today's a new day
full of possibilities
endless opportunities
another chance to shine
Today's a new day
opening a brand new door
better than the one before 
today isn't yesterday

I was in a bad bad mood
But it didn’t take long ‘til my friends came along
They cheered me up, made me feel strong
And later that day at lunch
I saw somebody sitting alone
I sat down next to them, I said hey what’s up
If you’re looking for a friend then you’re in luck
Join in with me, ready, set, go
Here in 131 we always show

Respect for all
That’s what we’re all about
Expect the best from us
When it comes to being kind
I help you, you help me
We are one big family
Respect, respect for all

Take a look around, it’s easy to see
The diversity
Of the students at our school
We look different but in many ways
We’re all the same
And judging anybody isn’t cool
Join in with me, ready, set, go
Here in 131 we always show

Respect for all
That’s what we’re all about
Expect the best from us
When it comes to being kind
I help you, you help me
We are one big family
Respect for all

That’s what we’re all about
Expect the best from us

When someone walked up, said where are you going
What’s your problem
They stood in my way then they gave me a shove
I said what did I ever do to you
Why are you acting like a fool

Step off back down
Get out of my face
What’s good right now
You’re violating my space
What up with this
Why are you frontin me
Chill out we don’t
Have to be enemies
Step off

He said we used to be friends ‘til you started spreading rumors
You been talking trash behind my back
I said that’s not true, what are you talking about
I’d like you to tell me where you heard that
He said it’s all over the school
I realized I wasn’t getting through, said

Step off back down
Get out of my face
What’s good right now
You’re violating my space

In this world that we’re livin’ in there’s no place for hate

Road to Success - NOV 2010Taylor Middle School 6-8th graders: Kokomo, IN
Road to Success - NOV 2010
I was walking down the hall in my school
Saw something that wasn't cool
Somebody was pushing somebody into a locker
Actin’ like a fool
I went up, I said, Stop this isn't right
Let me give you some advice
On how to leave a better life…

(Chorus)

The road to success is paved with respect, responsibility and readiness
Picking on people will get you nothin’
But a whole lot of trouble and big ol’ mess
If your gonna get where you wanna be in life
Better get on the road to success

(Verse)
I remember this algebra quiz
I thought I'd ace it like a whiz
I didn’t bother to study, I was hanging with my buddies
I got an F, major miss
I felt bad, I got mad at myself
‘Cause I had only me to blame, nobody else

(Chorus)

The road to success is paved with respect, responsibility and readiness
There’s twists and turns, ups and downs
You’re bound to fall, just do your best
If your gonna get where you wanna be in life
Better get on the road to success

(Bridge)

If you want to be the top dog
You better work hard

(Chorus)

The road to success is paved with respect, responsibility and readiness
There’s twists and turns, ups and downs
You’re bound to fall, just do your best
If your gonna get where you wanna be in life
Better get on the road to success

Don't Mess with Me - NOV 2010
I was on the school bus, reading my book
When someone came over and gave me a dirty look
They said give me your lunch money or I'll get it myself
I said leave me alone or I'm gonna tell
Then they pushed me and poked me and pulled my hair
I said you're being unkind, you're not being fair

(chorus)

Don’t mess with me don't pick a fight
Just because you’re bigger, doesn’t give you the right
To be mean to me, can't you see
That being my friend is the better thing to do
Don’t mess with me and I won’t mess with you

(verse)

I was eating my lunch in the cafeteria
Salad and pepperoni pizza
I looked over and saw that boy from the bus
Someone was bothering him, causing a fuss
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
The same words I said earlier today

(chorus)

Don’t mess with me don't pick a fight
Just because you’re bigger, doesn’t give you the right
To be mean to me, can't you see
That being my friend is the better thing to do
Don’t mess with me and I won’t mess with you

My Teacher - NOV 2010Sycamore Elementary 4th Graders: Kokomo, IN
My Teacher - NOV 2010
Here at my school we're learning a lot of things
Like reading, writing, science, spelling & history
We sit at our desks we take a few tests
It’s not always easy but it’s easy to see

(chorus)

My teacher cares for me
He wants me to be all I can be
When I'm having trouble, he helps me out
You could say that's what he's all about
He's nothing less than the best
My teacher, my teacher

(verse)

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
Diameters, perimeters, angles and lines
So much to learn so many decisions
Sometimes math is hard
He makes it easier with flash cards

(chorus)

My teacher cares for me
He wants me to be all I can be
When I'm having trouble, he helps me out
You could say that's what he's all about
He's nothing less than the best
My teacher, my teacher

Helping Each Other - NOV 2010Sycamore Elementary 3rd Graders: Kokomo, IN
Helping Each Other - NOV 2010
Helping each other is the Sycamore way
Sharing and caring every day
Smiling faces, warm embraces
If we stick together we'll be ok
Helping each other is the Sycamore way

(verse)

If someone’s running a race we wish ‘em good luck
And if they fall down we pick ‘em back up
We respect one another and that’s understood
We go out of our way to make others feel good

(chorus)

Helping each other is the Sycamore way
Sharing and caring every day
Smiling faces, warm embraces
If we stick together we'll be ok
Helping each other is the Sycamore way

(verse)

We raise funds for families in need
We're book buddies we help little ones read
We keep our classrooms clean
Reduce, reuse, recycle we're green

(chorus)

Helping each other is the Sycamore way
Sharing and caring every day
Smiling faces, warm embraces
If we stick together we'll be ok
Helping each other is the Sycamore way
