This Pretty Planet

Gentle blue giant spin us around
All through the night
Safe 'til the morning light

Promise (Near and Deep)
By Barbara McAffee
I am as near and deep in you
As the air you breath
Fill yourself up with my refreshment
Take all the air you need
I am as near and deep in you
As the blood in your veins
I bring new life with every heart-beat
Life that will remain
I am as near and deep in you
As you will allow
I have been here since time's beginning
And I am with you now

Ride My Bike
by Laurence Cole
Part 1
Ride my bike, ride my bike, ride my bike to work and back.
Part 2
Oooo! I like to ride my bike! Ride to work (clap clap) and back!
Part 3
I can hear the birds, I can feel the breeze.
I can smell the blossoms on the trees.
I can feel my body growing strong.
It just makes me want to sing this song!
