Singing Through the Day

Songs and verses shared by Miss Scarlett

 

A song for sitting at the lunch table:

Before the bread, the flour, the mill

Before the mill, the grain

Before the grain, the sun, earth, and rain

The beauty of life's will.

 

A song of thanks, for after lunch:

Thank you for the world so sweet.

Thank you for the food we eat.

Thank you for the birds that sing.

Thank you for everything.

 

A song for settling in at rest time:

This little light of mine, I'm goin' to let it shine.

This little light of mine, I'm goin' to let it shine.

This little light of mine, I'm goin' to let it shine.

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

 

This little light of mine, it's goin' to light the dark.

This little light of mine, it's goin' to light the dark.

This little light of mine, it's goin' to light the dark.

Light the dark, light the dark, light the dark.

 

A lullaby for falling asleep during rest time:

The river is flowing, flowing and growing.

The river is flowing down to the sea.

Mother Earth carries me.

Her child I will always be.

Mother Earth carries me down to the sea.
