It’s All True

Did I ever tell you of a holiday

Did you hear my story

Did you hear me say

At a special time of year

On a magical midnight clear

The age old stories all seem new

Make believe can still come true

Did I ever tell you

 

Did I ever tell you of a special night

When a jolly elf and reindeer take flight

If you just believe this day

You’ll be flyin’ in Santa’s sleigh

Then everything you waited for

Might come knocking at your door

Did I ever tell you

 

Who’d believe that a snowman would dance all by himself

And who’d believe that a stocking would be filled with toys made by an elf

 

Did I ever tell you of a holiday

Did you hear my story

At a special time of year

Did I ever tell you

It’s all true

 

I Could Fly

Every night I close my eyes

In my dreams I see

Lifting up into the skies

Hey look, it’s me. It’s me

 

I could fly if you believed in me

I could fly, just watch and see

I’d go soaring through the atmosphere

Past the clouds, into the clear

Just give me a chance

Only cans, not can’ts

If you’d let me try

I could fly

 

Everyone would stop and stare

I’d be flying free

Floating through the winter air

Hey look. No gravity

 

I could fly if you believed in me

I could fly, just watch and see

I’d go soaring through the atmosphere

Past the clouds, into the clear

Just give me a chance

Only cans, not can’ts

If you’d let me try

I could fly

I could fly

 

Roots

Keep your roots planted in the ground

No need to wander, no need to walk around

Roots will hold when the north wind blows

Roots will never ever let you go

 

Roots!

You’ve got to have roots

Who wouldn’t want roots

You’ll be respected

Come on!

Roots!

Are better than boots

For if you’ve got roots

You’ll stay connected

 

So dig your toes way down deep

And put your worries fast asleep

With roots

No need for commutes

And you’ll be sound, on solid ground

Cause you’ve got roots

 

So dig your toes way down deep

And put your worries fast asleep

With roots

No need for commutes

And you’ll be complete with buried feet

Cause you’ve got roots

You’ve got roots

 

Everybody Can Sing

Everybody can sing

Everybody can do their thing

You and I will be singing in harmony

Everybody can sing

 

Listen to the cow go moo (moo)

Listen to the horse go neigh (neigh)

Even a horse has a lot to say

Listen to the duck go quack (quack)

A duck will never lack a quack

Moo! Neigh! Quack! Oh!

You and I will be singing in harmony

A Time for Miracles

This is a time for miracles

On every Christmas eve

Dreams come true for me and you

And those who do believe

 

When it’s deep into December

And the world is dark and cold

That’s the time that we remember

The stories that we’ve been told

On a dark and wintery night

Light can suddenly appear

Anything is possible

At this special time of year

 

This is a time for miracles

On every Christmas eve

Dreams can come true for me and you

And those who do believe

 

Well just maybe it could happen

Maybe if we really try

Miracles can surely happen

And maybe a moose could fly

 

This is a time for miracles

On every Christmas eve

Dreams can come true for me and you

And those who do believe
