about

I sing this song at the beginning of almost every class, camp, and concert! It's a wonderful tool for helping people feel welcome, seen, heard and loved. In this version, I welcome all the creatures and critters, and many aspects of Earth and our ecosystems. You can also sing your own version, where in the second half of the song, you have the kids call out what animals they want to welcome into the community, or go around the circle and welcome each child in turn, by name. Have fun!

lyrics

VERSE 1
Good morning, good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, good morning, good morning to you

CHORUS
We’re gonna sing, sing about our love now
Sing about our love!
We’re gonna send our love into the world now
Our big strong beautiful love!

VERSE 2
I see you, I see you, I see you right now
I see you, I see you, I see you right now
I hear you, I hear you, I hear you right now
I hear you, I hear you, I hear you right now
And I love you, I love you, I love you right now
I love you, I love you, I love you right now

CHORUS
Oh we’re gonna sing, sing about our love now
Sing about our love!
We’re gonna send our love into the world now
Our big strong beautiful love!

Oh who’re we going to welcome
into our beloved community today?

VERSE 3
Oh children, oh children
We’re so glad you’re here!
Oh grown-ups
We’re so glad you’re here!
Oh brothers and sisters
We’re so glad you’re here!
Oh creatures and critters
We’re so glad you’re here!
Oh grassy grass and towering trees
And raindrops and sunbeams
Oh big sky, teeny tiny butterflies
We’re so glad you’re here!
Oh wise old owls and hummingbirds
Oh rolling waves and river bends
Oh mountains high and the deep oceans
We’re so glad you’re here!
Oh spiders, flowers, fish and worms
Oh Mother Earth, oh Mother Earth
Oh everyone and everything
We’re so gad you’re here!


CHORUS
Oh we’re gonna sing, sing about our love now
Sing about our love
We’re gonna send our love into the world now
Our big strong beautiful love!
We’re gonna sing, sing about our love now
Sing about our love
We’re gonna send our love into the world now
Our big strong beautiful love!

Oh everyone, oh everyone
We’re so glad you’re here!
