From the recording Kids Rock Project
This is such a feel good song...a great way to start the day. From an 8 year old point of view, life is about the simple things, feeling loved and knowing we are proud of them. The kids also learned through writing this song, that if they want people to notice them, they need to notice other people too and share their love as well.
Welcome To The World is the featured song in a video that won the Panasonic New Vision Award.
Lyrics
Chorus
Welcome to the World
Take a look around
See what you can see
When you just slow down
We live our lives like time is running out
Always in a hurry, got somewhere to be
Checking off the list of things to get done
Leaving little room for having fun
With the simple things life offers you and me
Chorus repeat
I caught a Monarch butterfly in a net
Held it in my hand then let it fly
Stood up under a redwood tree
Felt so small with it staring back at me
Then watched the clouds make faces in the sky
Chorus repeat
And I really like it when you notice me
Stop long enough to ask about my day
Cause I try real hard to make you proud
But I do get sad and need to talk it out
And I need to hear from you that I’m OK
Bridge
And it’s my job to notice you too
How hard you work and all the little things you do
How you tell a good joke
And make me smile
The way you laugh
And give a good hug
And I know that I am loved
Chorus repeat
