"Some Kind" by Sophie, age 6

This colorful, fun song was sent in by Sophie from Bailey Island, Maine. I love the rhythms and the fun lyrics. You can imagine clapping and dancing along to this one, can't you? Terrific job, Sophie!

Some Kind

What kind of sheep?
What kind of sheep?

Some kind of sheep.
Some kind of sheep.

What kind of sheep?
What kind of sheep?

Some, some, some some
Some kind of sheep!

"The Ocean" by Brenna, age 11

Brenna from Durango, Colorado sent in the lyrics to this thoughtful song. Don't you just love the image of the stowaway in the opening lines, and the rhythm of the chorus? Keep up the good work, Brenna!

The Ocean

You tend
To stray
From what you used to be
You stowed
Away
On the ship to becoming nobody
I know
Deep down
The real you is waiting to prevail
When will you set sail?
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity
As far as the eye can reach
How far 'till the nearest beach?
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity

Take a chance dive right in
Feel the warmth of the water on your skin
Paddle out to the Island way out there
Let the wind mess with your hair
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity

I miss
The real you
The you that had a truly special spark
Out there
For miles
That's the journey you need to embark
When will you set sail?
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity
As far as the eye can reach
How far 'till the nearest beach?
The Ocean
The Ocean
The Ocean of possibilities
The Island
The Island
The Island of opportunity
Take a chance--dive right in

"Flaming Hills" by McKenzie, age 9

McKenzie from Prestonsburg, Kentucky sent me these song lyrics. I love the rhythms and the imagery of the flames. It's a beautiful song, McKenzie...great work! -Josephine

Flaming Hills

When you see hills so beautiful
Red flames so beautiful and lights any day
And anywhere

Chorus:
Cause when the flames go high it
Shows the one that loves me and
Shows the one who made this beautiful
Red flames on the hills let it be
The one I love the most and
Let him love me

And when you see him I hope
He loves me like I do and if
He loves me like I do I'll
Sing with all my love
Please let him be the one
I love
