Quarantine Update
We hope you are all safe and healthy during this challenging time. We are finding ways to create connectedness during this period of isolation. As we have been writing songs with students about their experiences being quarantined at home we have found that much of our experience is shared. We hope these songs uplift you and remind you that you are not alone. Videos to come soon!
THERE’S A RAINBOW
VERSE 1A
My life and this world are changing
all joy and good times are fading
My mask is in place hiding my face and my smile
VERSE 1B
Clouds they fade away seasons come what may
things aren’t the same
like seasons they change
CHORUS 1
There’s a rainbow coming my friend and we’ll all get together and dance once again
Mother earth is breathing again
and she now feels alive
can we all just be friends
VERSE 2A
The games that I played are no longer
I miss riding horses and summer
I feel the earth change
it’s breathing again again
VERSE 2B
I miss playing ball
Miss classes and teachers all
I’m learning to zoom while stuck in my room my room
CHORUS 2
There’s a rainbow coming my friend and we’ll all get together and dance once again
Mother earth is breathing again
and she now feels alive
can we all just be friends
CHORUS 3
There’s a rainbow coming my friend and we’ll all get together and dance once again
Mother earth is breathing again
and she now feels alive
can we all just be friends
