Good Morning

Say, “”Good Morning”” to your neighbor
Say, “”Good Morning”” across the way.

And wish them all a “”Happy Day.””

Caring, Sharing

Sung to: “”My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean””
This world is a great place to live in
With friends from all over the Earth
We all must take care of each other
And know what each person is worth.
Chorus: Caring, sharing
Come join hands together in play…today
Caring, sharing
We’ll make the world better today!
So treat every person with kindness
And greet each new friend with a smile
The world needs our new understanding
Give kindness a chance for a while
