The Future of our Planet is in Your Hands

The Future of our Planet is in Your Hands

Pete Pembroke -2009

 

We (G) went to (D) school to (C) take a (G) test

On all kinds of birds and their nests

We went outside so we could see

I never thought they'd be talking to me, they said…

 

(chorus)

Hey little boy, hey little girl

We're counting on you to take care of the world

We want you to learn all that you can

The future of our planet is in your hands (x2)

 

We went down a trail to take a hike

There was a raccoon within sight

She stopped her family and they looked our way

They took a deep breath and began to say, they said… (chorus)

 

We kept on walking to rest on a log

We spotted a beaver, chewing by his lodge

His wife came out and they looked our way

They took a deep breath and began to say, they said… (chorus)

 

We came to a bench where an old couple was

A grandma and grandpa with lots of love

They got real quiet when they looked our way

They took a deep breath and began to say, they said…

Natural Resources

Natural Resources

 

(E) O Mr. Tree, thanks for (B) helping me

For (A) building my home, swingset, and (E) library

(E) O Mr. Tree, I want to thank (B) thee

I (A) promise to plant more (E) immediately

 

(chorus)

You're a (B) natural resource you (A) give so much

(E) come from the Earth, thanks for (B) helping us

(B) we know you're not endless gotta (A) take care of you

(E) only take the things, we (B) really need to use

 

O fossil fuel you're such a helpful tool

You run my car, my stove, and heat my school

O fossil fuel, we gotta dig down deep

cuz in the rocks is where you sleep  (chorus)

 

O H2O, I love to watch you flow

You move down rivers into turbines you go

O H2O, through a cycle you go

We'll use you less so you never run low (chorus)

 

O sun and wind, there you are again

If we catch you electricity we win

O sun and wind you're every place I've been

With creativity we can conserve and win

Climbing to the Top

 

 

Climbing to the Top

G-D-Am-C

 

In everything we do

We've got a choice or two

Do we take a step ahead?

Or do we just stay in bed?

 

Don't give up when you're sad

Don't lose and then get mad

If you look then you'll find fun

Good ideas bring out the sun

 

(chorus x2)

We're climbing to the top

Never gonna stop

Givin' it our all

Standing proud and tall

 

Let's take a step today

We all go our own way

One day, one year, one life

We'll get to a new height

 

When we're faced with a task

We can make it a blast

We need to make it the best

Because we're CCDS!

 

(chorus)

We All Make A Difference

DIRT

 

(E)Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirt, I love (A)dirt!  (SOIL)

(E)Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirt, I love (G)dirt!  (SOIL)

 

(A)It's made from rocks and sand

          And (E)decayed plants too

(A)It's the top layer of the Earth

          (B)Grows food for me and you

What would we do without it

          It'd be such a shame

Let's hope we never find out

          Let's all sing its name

 

It moves all around

          Erosion and weathering

There's all kinds of different types

          But we call it all the same

The layers tell a story

          Our planet's history

All kinds of fossils buried here

          In dirt we can believe

 

Sing-a-long

Sing-a-long

(A)I can sing in the shower

(D) I can sing about the trees

When I (E) listen to my voice

It (D) doesn't bother me

 

But when other people listen

I know that what they hear

Makes 'em want to stick

Their fingers in their ears

 

So sing along, sing along, sing along with me

La la la la la

Sing along, sing along, let the music set you free

 

When I write down the words

And music to a song

I really hope that you will sing along

It isn't ever meant for

Singing just by me

With you and I together

It's the best that it can be

 

So, sing….

Pi

chorus

(C) I like pi to (F) eat

It's (C) always a really good (G) treat

(C) But now I love pi (F) more

(C) 'Cuz I learned that its (G)(C) 3.14

 

(F) In Math Class we learned about pi

(C) Apples and peaches, oh my

(F) Turned out, I was wrong

(G) That's why I wrote this song

Chorus

 

Circles are what its about

Got to figure inside and out

Diameter cuts it in half

Geometry what a blast!

Chorus

 

Circles all around

The circumference is found

diameter times the pi

That's the reason why!

Chorus

Catch the Wave

Catch The Wave-pp2011

When you feel confused

And you feel all alone

It seems like you're lost

Don't know which way to go

So get on the train

Jump on the bus

Gotta catch the wave

With people you trust

(chorus)

                Catch the wave - hey

                Gotta catch the wave

                Catch the wave - hey

                Gotta catch the wave             x2

You can do all things

With all of your friends

You can learn new skills

And be your best

Gotta climb to the top

Gotta build for success

Gotta go for the gold

At C C D S!

(chorus)
