Lyrics - Listen
Listen to the wind as it helps the trees to speakListen to the rustling leaves and brittle branches creakThey tll so many stories (of all the tree has seen)Of wonders and of miracles which passed its leaves of green
….
Listen to the whispering of the wind-aided wordListen as it tells us all the secrets it has heardIf only you would listen, then you would fin’lly knowThe journey of our ancestors, as they traveled down life’s road
Chantez Alleluia!
Shahn-tay Ah-leh-loo-yah
Music for people
The beat helps us to feel good and to do things in a group.
Music brings us together on a unified beat.
Both work and play are helped.
The Erie Canal is a waterway in New York that runs about 363 miles (584 km) from Albany, New York, on the Hudson River to Buffalo, New York, at Lake Erie, completing a navigable water route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The canal contains 36 locks and encompasses a total elevation differential of around 565 ft. (169 m). First proposed in 1807, it was under construction from 1817 to 1825 and officially opened[1] on October 26, 1825.
It was the first transportation system between the eastern seaboard (New York City) and the western interior (Great Lakes) of the United States that did not require portage, was faster than carts pulled by draft animals, and cut transport costs by about 95%. The canal fostered a population surge in western New York state, opened regions farther west to settlement, and helped New York City become the chief U.S. port. In 1918, the enlarged canal was replaced by the larger New York State Barge Canal.
Today, it is part of the New York State Canal System. In 2000, the United States Congress designated the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor[2] to recognize the national significance of the canal system as the most successful and influential human-built waterway and one of the most important works of civil engineering and construction in North America.[3] Mainly used by recreational watercraft in the recent past, the canal saw an upsurge in commercial traffic in 2008.[4]
I've got a mule,Her name is Sal,Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.She's a good old worker And a good old pal,Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.We've hauled some barges in our dayFilled with lumber, coal and hayAnd we know ev’ry inch of the way From Albany to Buffalo.Low Bridge, ev'rybody down, Low Bridge,for we're coming to a town!And you’ll always tell your neighbor,You’ll always tell your pal,If you've ever navigated On the Erie Canal.LOW BRIDGE KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN LOW BRIDGE FOR WE’RE COMIN’ TO A TOWNAND YOU’LL ALWAYS KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORYOU’LL ALWAYS KNOW YOU’RE PALIF YOU’VE EVER NAVIGATED ON THE ERIE CANALGit up there, Sal, we’ve passed that lock,Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.And We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock.Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.Just One more trip and back we'll goThrough the rain and sleet and snow‘Cause we know ev'ry inch of the way From Albany to Buffalo.
Yonder Come Day - Georgia Sea Islands Song
Yonder come day, day is a’breakin’Yonder come day, Oh my soulYonder come day, day is a’breakin’Sun is a’risin’ in my soul
Are you a bucket filler?
Imagine how great Hastings will be!
Imagine there's no violence, it's easy if you try.No bullying around us, no one who tells a lie.
Imagine all the children living life as friends.
Imagine there's no fighting, it isn't hard to do.No tattling or teasing, no name calling too.
Imagine all the children living life as friends.
We can help each other. Reach out, respect each one. Including all and sharing a better life for everyone…
Imagine helping others. I wonder if you can.Participate, cooperate - a brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the children living life as friends.
We can help each other. Reach out, respect each one. Including all and sharing a better life for everyone…
