Includes brand new songs about Friendship and Nature, made with Nanny Nikki, Wendy & DB, Tara Trudel, Shawny, and The Dapper Dudes... along with songs made with friends like Red Yarn, Suzi Shelton, Little Miss Ann and Kelli's wonderful kids — as well as over fifty 4th graders — that have been awarded top honors in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Unsigned Only Music Awards, and the International Songwriting Competition. Fabulous guest producers Johnny Clay of Ants Ants Ants and The Dimes, as well as Mo Phillips of Portland, OR, and Andrew Oedel of Ghost Hit Recording in West Springfield, MA, bring extra depth and beauty to the tracks, along with the work of Portland's incredible Bryan Daste at Dream Tree Studios NW.

Lyrics
1. WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND
I want to be your friend
I like what you’re doing
We can take the walls
Take the walls down, honey
We can take the walls down
I want to be your friend
We’ll ride to the rainbow’s end
We can take the walls
Take the walls down, honey
We can take the walls down
Verse 1:
Everybody looks a little bit different
Everybody’s voice makes their own sweet sound
Everybody’s wondering if they are good enough
Let me tell you that you are
Let me tell you that you are
Chorus:
Bridge(x2):
(And we’re gonna be) Friends
(Gonna be) Friends
Gonna be friends, yeah
Maybe for the rest of our lives
Verse 2:
Everybody’s thinking someone else has it perfect
But when you get close, you can see they don’t
No such thing! And the sooner we embrace it, yeah
We’re gonna be free, gonna be free
Free to be my friend!
Chorus:
End – Bridge repeat:
(Gonna be) Friends
(Gonna be) Friends
Gonna be friends, yeah
Maybe for the rest of our lives
Maybe for the rest of our lives
Maybe for the rest of our lives
Maybe for the rest of our lives
2. ALL THE LOVE
Whether we are happy
Or we’re feeling kind of crappy
Whether we can dawdle
Or we’ve gotta make it snappy
Any kind of “whether"
I’m always feeling better
When I’m with you
Ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
All of the love — La la la la love
All of the love I have is for you!
All of the love — La la la la love
All of the love I have is for you— hoo—
La la la la la
Whether we are walking
Or we’re sitting still and talking
Swinging, or sliding
Or sidewalk chalking
Anything we want to do
Happy when I’m helping you
Learn and grow
Oh ho ho ho ho ho!
All of the love — La la la la love
All of the love I have is for you!
All of the love — La la la la love
All of the love I have is for you— hoo—
La la la la la — hoo—
La la la la la la la la la la
Ooh da da… Hey! Hey! Hey!
Ooh da da… Hey! Hey! Hey!
Whether it’s the morning
And we’ve just been snoring
Time to settle in
For a bedtime story
Anytime and anywhere
Hoping you’ll remember
What you hear me say…
Ay ay ay ay ay ay!
All of the love — La la la la love
All of the love I have is for you!
All of the love — La la la la love
All of the love I have is for you— hoo—
La la la la la — hoo—
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Ooh da da… Hey! Hey! Hey!
Ooh da da… Hey! Hey! Hey!
3. MY DARLING DAFFODIL
Oh my darlin' Daffodil

4. SUNSHINE IS MEDICINE
Sunshine is medicine
Open up the windows and the doors — let it in!
Sunshine is medicine
Open up and let it out —
To let the sun in!
Hey — hey — Hey — hey — Hey — hey —
When it’s feeling dark, feeling dark
Something on my mind, something on my heart
Feeling confused and I’m stuck inside
I sing a little song about the power of light —
Sunshine is medicine
Open up the windows and the doors — let it in!
Sunshine is medicine
Open up and let it out —
To let the sun in!
Hey — hey — Hey — hey — Hey — hey —
Bring on the sunshine, bring on the love
Run to the places in need — of
The storytelling —
The storytelling —
Bring on the sunshine, bring on the love
Run to the places in need — of
The storytelling —
The storytelling —
When it’s feeling gray, feeling gray
Not really sure if there’s something I can say
Curtains are closed and I can’t see out
I try to remember to fight the self doubt
And shout — out loud!
Sunshine is medicine
Open up the windows and the doors — let it in!
Sunshine is medicine
Open up and let it out
To let the sun in!
Hey — hey — Hey — hey — Hey — hey —
Sunshine is medicine
Open up the windows and the doors — let it in!
Sunshine is medicine
Open up and let it out
To let the sun in!
5. RIVER RUN
Red rock in the canyon wall
And the river runs through it all
As we ride — over rapids
1-2-3-4-5-6-7
8-9-10 and we think we’re in Heaven
As the waves splash and we’re crashing through the walls
Don’t hold us back, don’t hold us
Let it flow!
Let’s go—
Run river, run
River run, river run—
River run run run — it’s a river run!
Run river, run
River run, river run—
River run run run — it’s a river run! Yeah!
Big horns on the rocky shore
Give a blast as we pass on the canyon floor
As we glide — over rapids
Grand Canyon, we’re thankful for
All that you’re giving, then you give a lot more
As the waves splash and we’re crashing through the walls
Don’t hold us back, don’t hold us
Let it flow!
Let’s go—
Run river, run
River run, river run—
River run run run — it’s a river run!
Run river, run
River run, river run—
River run run run — it’s a river run! Yeah!
And this is what we’re living for
Checking out, checking in to the Great Outdoors
Where the stars at night never shined so bright
And it’s hotter than hot, but we’re doing it right
Let it flow!
Let’s go—
Run river, run
River run, river run—
River run run run — it’s a river run!
Run river, run
River run, river run—
River run run run — it’s a river run! Yeah!
6. FEEDING THE BIRDS
Munch little bird
Munch munch on a lunch of seeds and grains
Munch little bird
Munch munch on a lunch of seeds and nuts and grains
How will it go when the falling snow
Covers up everything you depend upon?
Can I help out? Can I help out?
Feeding the birds
Feeding the birds
Winga winga wing to the south
Winga winga wing to the north
Winga winga wing to the places with
Food and warmth
Some of you can power through
The coldest of the cold
How do you do it?
How do you do it?
Munch little bird
Munch munch on a lunch of seeds and grains
Munch little bird
Munch munch on a lunch of seeds and nuts and grains
How will it go when the falling snow
Covers up everything you depend upon?
Can I help out? Can I help out?
Feeding the birds
Feeding the birds
7. FEELINGS TAKE PRACTICE
When you are happy
Your teeth may show
When you are sad
Some tears may flow
When you are feeling confused
With something to lose
Your heart may race
And your face may feel warm
Or it's harder to breathe
All of these signals
Our bodies are sending
Trying to tell us
What's happening inside
And it may seem strange
Or out of control—
But feelings take practice
We learn as we grow
So—
It's okay
It's okay, give it time
Give it space
And in time you may find
In the quietest places
Your heart and your mind
May sing out who you are
8. ROAD TRIP
Favorite songs –
Playing on the radio
Windows down and our hands are out
Surfing on the breeze
With the pedal down
Road trip
Road trip
Anywhere we wanna go take a dip
Into the river or the beautiful trees
Up on the mountaintop
Where we can see
All of the world stretching out
Wee hee

Feeling light as a feather

10. THE RESPONSIBILITY SONG
Responsibility!
It’s what we’ve got!
Responsibility!
It means a lot!
Does it mean that we should dawdle

12. SPIDER ON YOUR EYELID
My sister woke up on Sunday
With a tarantula on her eyelid
I said, Hey Big Sister, did you know
There’s a spider on your face
Spider on your face
She said, Eek get it off
But the spider held on
Flapping all around while my sister talked
I don’t know why a spider would try
To make itself at home on my sister’s eye
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider on your eyelid
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider on your eyelid
My sister came home from a party
With two spiders on her eyelids
I said, Hey Big Sister, did you know
That the spider made a friend
Spider made a friend
She said Please go away
But I said No way
I won’t let the spiders take my sister away
I don’t know why spiders would try
To make themselves at home on my sister’s eyes
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider on your eyelid
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider on your eyelid
First I saw them here and there
Now I see them everywhere
Spiders on the coffee gal
Spiders on my aunt
Spiders on the checker at the pet store and
Spiders on my teacher
I don’t get the feature
I’m trying to listen
But distracted by the creatures
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider on your eyelid
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider on your eyelid
Actually, I think it looks kind of great
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider on your eyelid
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider
Eek There’s a spider on your eyelid
Eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek
Spiders everywhere
Eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek
On your eyelids
13. SWEET DREAMS
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams my baby —oh
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams my baby —oh
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams my baby —oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Where shall we go — tonight in our dreams?
Shall we fly to the moon?
Take a trip to Saturn’s rings?
Hop across the planets
Like stones in a stream
Singing ooh da lolly ooh da lolly ay—
Chorus:
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Singing ooh da lolly ooh da lolly ay—
Sweet dreams
Where shall we go — tonight in our dreams?
Shall we sing with the whales?
Swim with penguins in the sea?
Catch a mighty wave
Like dolphins flying free?
Singing ooh da lolly ooh da lolly ay—
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Singing ooh da lolly ooh da lolly ay—
Sweet dreams
There may be times for us
When dreams start feeling dark
But we can find a way out
Sing out with our hearts—
This is my dream
This is my dream—
This is my dream
This is my dream—
Where shall we go — tonight in our dreams?
Shall we swing through the trees
Like a monkey family?
Toucan, me and you can
Escape the canopy
Singing ooh da lolly ooh da lolly ay—
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Ay— ay— ay— ay—
Singing ooh da lolly ooh da lolly ay—
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams my baby —oh
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams my baby —oh

When you are feeling
Down and blue
Try to remember
I believe in you

I believe that you can do
Anything that you put your mind to
And you put your heart into
