Together Make It More: Charlotte, age 12

Charlotte from Lombard, Illinois sent in this song. I love how she uses specific images in the chorus to illustrate her theme of togetherness. She shows us vividly that by working together, we can accomplish so much more than we could on our own. You can't have a chord without individual notes, you can't have "we" without "you and I." Just look at the beautiful way she describes that: "And just like a note/Finds its soul in a chord/We take what we have/And together make it more." Congratulations, Charlotte...you wrote a hit song!

Post a comment for Charlotte and let her know how much you like her song.

Together Make it More

By Charlotte, age 12

When we stand by ourselves

And go it alone

We can accomplish alot

But it’s sometimes a lonely road

There are things in this life

That just seem much better

When you take simple things

and combine them together

Chorus:

What is the sun

If we don’t have a sky?

There can’t be a we

If we don’t have a you and I

And just like a note

Finds its soul in a chord

We take what we have

And together make it more

A friend to lend a hand

Thanks for a job well done

For these things to occur

You must have more than one

A friend to watch your back

teachers grow your mind

Alone these things can’t be

They just exist when combined.

Chorus:

What is the sun

If we don’t have a sky

There can’t be a we

If we don’t have a you and I

And just like a note

Finds its soul in a chord

we take what we have

And together make it more

Bridge:

T. E. A. M. that Spells Team

Because together everyone achieves more; and that means

When you work together, it turns out better

Then everything’s O.K

And there is no I in team

Chorus:

What is the sun

If we don’t have a sky

There can’t be a we

If we don’t have a you and I

And just like a note

Finds its soul in a chord

we take what we have

And together make it more
