Children, children everywhere, Not a worry, not a care,
Mummies, Daddies here and there, They carry all the worry and care.
Try to raise the children right, But at every bend they have to fight,
At each and every command they buck, At every chance they try their luck.
Disobedience – a normal thing, Disobedience – has a lovely ring,
Disobedience is just such fun, For all the children, everyone.
Parent teach right from wrong, But it’s just singing the same old song,
The kids wont listen, always ask why, But still the parents will always try.
One day those children will be grown, Have their own family and home,
And then their parents get sweet revenge, Watching their childrens children disobey them!!!!!

Life is full of ups and downs, Full of laughter, full of frowns,
There are good times, but many sad, That have passed and are still to come.
But if you have someone at your side, To laugh with you and also cry,
Then the ups are happier, the downs less sad, The laughter louder, the tears a little less sad.
Although I am not always by your side, I am within you in your heart, soul, deep inside,
So whenever you’re happy, I am happy too, And whenever you’re sad, I am sad with you.
I’ll always be there to comfort you, So think of me, dear, whenever you’re blue,
Remember the good times we have had, And smile, my darling, be a little less sad.

Intro: Life is like a butterfly, Ever changing- you’re born, you die.
1) Lifes road is long with twists and turns, With forks and crossings as one learns,
Yet if it were not just so, you see, How boring life would really be.
REFRAIN: So….. follow that road and learn as you go, Follow your feet as you learn and grow,
One day when you are older and wiser, You will be thankful you did!!!
2) Each experience on life’s rocky road, Can make you strong if you allow it to do so,
It can break you too if you don’t let it teach, But if you strive hard, joy and happiness are in reach.
3) Lifes lesons make you stronger and better, learn from them letter by letter,
Don’t let the bad times get you down, Wipe off that sad and glowering frown
4) For each knock can make you stronger, Each lesson makes life that little bit longer,
As you learn and correct each mistake, And become a better person – self made!

Ancient Spirits good and wise,
Open up my human eyes,
Let me see properly,
The things I really need to see.
Ancient spirits wise in years,
Open up my human ears,
Let me hear properly,
The things that should be heard by me.
The beauty that surrounds us all,
Natures blessings, natures call,
Let me see and let me hear,
Let me feel it and hold it dear.
Ancient spirits of wisdom full,
Let me feel your gentle pull,
Open my heart and fill my soul,
Unite my senses and make me whole.
The wind rustles through the trees,
The grass dances merrily,
Seeds fly and propagate,
And Mother Earth smiles happily.
Rain fall from the watery clouds,
The plants all drink thirstily,
Mother Earth smiles and sighs,
“This is how it’s supposed to be.”
Not long after that, the world has changed,
Trees are dying like flies,
Plants are poisoned by the very air,
And Mother Earth sighs and cries.
She looks upon humankind,
And sadness fills her face,
“I gave you my all, my everything,
And look what you’ve done to this place.”
Her glance falls upon a select crowd,
And her expression softens again,
“At least I know there are a few,
Who cherish my gifts, I fain.”
For there are those who are still in tune,
With Mother Earths gentle grace,
Who respect and worship her,
And are trying to right this disgrace.
We dance the dance, sing the song,
Follow the wheel of the year,
We cherish each and everything,
We hold Mother Earths spirit dear.
We care for all the living things,
Beasts big or small,
Flying, crawling, swimming, walking,
We respect them one and all.
Growing from the ground as well,
Tall trees to smallest weed,
Rocks, stones, grains of sand,
All parts of nature we heed.
We are Witches, We are Wiccan,
We are Pagan all,
We listen to Mother Earth,
We heed her Gentle call.
