Lyrics
1. We Are Amazing!
206 Bones in my body to help me stand tall,
230 joints I can bend to jump up when I fall,
660 Muscles to move when
I dance or play ball.
That is amazing!
I have the power to think and to see
And imagine the world the way it can be.
Nobody else is exactly like me.
That is amazing!
Chorus
I am amazing!
Jump up and clap and shout it.
And the things I will do will surprise me and you
there is no doubt about it.
I am amazing
when you think about it.
I can discover and I can decide
to share all the light I have hidden inside,
for I have a power that can’t be denied!
That is amazing!
I am amazing!
Jump up and clap and shout it.
And the things I will do will surprise me and you
there is no doubt about it.
I am amazing
when you think about it.
Everyone of us breathes.
Everyone of us blinks.
Every heart in us beats.
Everyone of us thinks!
We are amazing!
Jump up and clap and shout it.
And the things we will do will surprise me and you
there is no doubt about it.
We are amazing.
When you think about it
there is no doubt about it.
So stop and think… about it.

2. Great, Big, Beautiful World
Sunlight to make my face feel warm
Lady bug crawling on my arm
Rainbows to follow every storm
Isn’t this a great big beautiful world?
Someone to teach me what to do.
Someone to be my friend, that’s you!
So many folks to help me through.
Isn’t this a great big beautiful world?
And it’s been spinning ‘round and ‘round
Since long before my birth,
Waiting for the day when I arrived on earth.
Isn’t this a great big beautiful world?
Stars in the night and sun by day,
Guiding us through the Milky Way,
All while we laugh and work and play.
Isn’t this a great big beautiful world?
And it’s been spinning ‘round and ‘round
Since long before my birth,
Waiting for the day when I arrived on earth.
Isn’t this a great big beautiful world?
I’m on it, you’re on it,
In every kind of weather.
Whatever may happen
We’re on this ride together.
Spinning ‘round and ‘round
Since long before my birth,
Waiting for the day when I arrived on earth.
Isn’t this a great big beautiful world?
How I love this great big beautiful world!

3. Secret Mission
I have an assignment
to solve a mystery.
I’m the secret agent who must discover me.
I am the detective.
What clues will I find?
What will I uncover locked inside my mind?
Chorus
Mission, secret mission.
I gotta find the key to the power in me!
Will I climb a mountain
or swim the ocean floor?
Find a distant planet out there to explore?
Chorus
Mission, secret mission.
I gotta find the key to the power in me!
Will I find solutions
so people won’t be poor?
Make a new connection no one’s tried before?
Chorus
Mission, secret mission.
I gotta find the key to the power in me!
(repeat)
I’m a person packed
with possibility.
I am on a mission
a mission to be me!

Chorus Part 1
Do the direction dance.

Come on and take a chance.
Choose your direction dance.

If you want to get somewhere,
Choose the road that takes you there.

Don’t take the road to Timbuktu.

If you want to hike to the mountain top
take the trail that leads you up.

Just make sure you really know

5. What Can You Do?
What can you do in three minutes,
three minutes, three minutes?
What can you do in three minutes,
three minutes, three?
You can pick up all your mess.
Write a thank you note.
Read a book aloud to someone little.
Straighten up your room.
Pull a bunch o’ weeds.
Make another friend at school.
What can you do in two minutes,
two minutes, two minutes?
What can you do in two minutes,
two minutes, two?
You can take the garbage out.
Tell your neighbor “Hi.”
Sing a funny song to your baby sister.
Run and help your dad.
Really brush your teeth.
Find your brother’s other shoe.
What can you do in one minute,
one minute, one minute?
What can you do in one minute,
one minute, one?
You can give your dog a hug.
Make your mother laugh.
Think a better thought about your brother.
Give your friend a turn.
Tell your teacher thanks.
Choose to stop an argument.
You can do a lot in three minutes,
two minutes, one minute.
Make a better world ‘cause you’re in it
Every single day!

6. What a Smile Can Do
Boys
Give away a smile
And you never know what that smile
Will do.
Just smile
And you’ll find that one smile can turn
To two.
That smile you’re wearing
Was always meant for sharing.
It’s amazing what a smile can do!
Girls
You should try it sometime.
Smiling.
Doesn’t cost you a dime.
Smiling.
And you never know when.
Smiling.
You could make a new friend.
Smiling.
It’s so contagious.
Its power is outrageous.
It’s amazing what a smile can do!
Boys (repeat boys part)
& Girls (repeat girls part)
Boys & Girls Combined
That smile you’re wearing
Was always meant for sharing.
It’s amazing what a smile can do!

7. Stronger
Clouds are gath’ring, turning gray.
A thunderstorm is on its way.
And soon there will be lightning,
And even if it gets a little frightening,
Hold on! The storm won’t last forever.
Hold on, and when it seems the sun
will never shine
If you last a little longer
The storm will pass
And you’ll be stronger.
Hard things happen in our lives,
Things that take us by surprise,
Will we be all right, we wonder.
So when your troubles come like rolling thunder
Chorus
Hold on! The storm won’t last forever.
Hold on, and when it seems the sun
will never shine
If you last a little longer
The storm will pass
And you’ll be stronger.
Repeat Chorus
Whether slow or fast,
the storm will pass
And you’ll be stronger.
Stronger.

8. How Big Are Your Dreams?
How big are your dreams?
Are they big enough to take you
somewhere you love?
How big are your dreams?
Can they carry you up to the clouds above?
Dreams are things that give us wings,
So if you want to fly;
How big are your dreams?
Boys
One day I was building and made a small boat.
I put it in the water to see if it would float.
But I was not content with just a boat in a pond.
I started to imagine the ocean beyond!
Chorus (repeat)
Girls
One day in the springtime I made a small kite
I tied it to a string and then I watched it take flight
And as the kite was soaring straight up to the sky
I started to imagine the power to fly!
Chorus (repeat)
How big are your dreams?

9. If You’re There
There’s so much to do, so much to know.
Please share your light so I can grow.
Then I will find my way to go,
If you’re there.
When I make mistakes, please try to see
Who I really am when you look at me.
There’s so much that I can be,
If you’re there.
I need someone strong. I need you
to believe in me
and stand by my side as I make my
dreams come true.
Thank you for all the things you do
That help me know I matter to you.
I can always make it through,
If you’re there.
I need someone strong. I need you
to believe in me
and stand by my side as I make my
dreams come true.
And I’ll stand by your side. I’ll be with you.
Together we all can make our dreams come true.
