Knapsacks packed with PB&J's Boots tied tight, we're on our way Gonna take the path less traveled by Can't wait to see the whole world through those big brown eyes Chorus: My greatest adventure is written on your face So many things to wonder So many dreams to chase The world is full of magic and when you see it you shine bright like the sun Out of every adventure, you're my favorite one Take me down under the tamarisk Show me all you've found, little archeologist How your eyes get wide with each discovery And how you take me back, my tiny time machine (chorus) All we need is a shady tree Where we can leave our fears and our cares be hind I've got the whole world in my hands When you're hand's in mine (chorus) ©2016 Lucky Bird Music (ASCAP)

Someday you're gonna grow tall And you won't fit in those shoes at all You might wear boots or a fire hat Or maybe dancing shoes or a baseball cap You might fly a jet, you don't need to decide just yet But if your mind gets set on a dream that't true, so true, oh and That's what you want to do, Then that's what you're gonna do There's no stopping you If that's what you want to do Someday, rain's gonna fall And you might wonder if dreams make any sense at all You might need a friend, you might need a break But you won't be through, make no mistake You're gonna blaze a trail, and even if you fall you will never fail Honey I can tell, you're gonna make it through and through oh, if (chorus) Maybe all you know for sure right now is that you still just want to be a kid You are my hero Because the heart of a child will change the world So you should never keep it hid No matter what you do, it's true, oh if (chorus) ©2016 Mendonhouse Music (ASCAP)

Oh, no! I skinned my knee! Oh, no! It really stings! Oh, no! It makes me cry! I think it hurts so bad I might lay down and die Chorus: But I can jump back up again and save the day, oh, yes! And I know that everything will be okay, oh, yes! I can get back on my feet and try again to do my best! Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Oh, no! I lost the game! Oh, no! It's such a shame! Oh, no! It makes me mad! This is the most upsetting time I've ever had! (chorus) Every day there are smiles and frowns I can take the bad and turn it upside down Every day there are ups and downs Times get tough and then they spin right back around (chorus) ©2016 Mendonhouse Music (ASCAP)

Long ago, not so far away Someone who loves you created this beautiful place Where you can run and laugh and find your own path With a secret message to be found Just by looking around chorus: Big as the blue, soft as the white Warm as the yellow, and as deep as the blackest night All the love in the red, all the life in the green I love you all the colors I've ever seen Yes, I love you all the colors Now you are mine, I'll never be the same You make me feel like sunlight reflecting off of rain Little drops that fall change what's small into a miracle Oh, what a view! It's the only way to describe my love for you (chorus) Even when we're apart My love is there Where the colors are (chorus) ©˙2016 Lucky Bird Music (ASCAP)

Once there was a mermaid swimming gracefully When a spaceship started sinking to the bottom of the sea It landed in her garden and she kind of felt annoyed But the spaceman was just a boy She hid behind some coral to watch him for a bit He looked a little lost, then he found a place to sit She swam and sat beside him and she thought she saw him smile When she said maybe he could visit for a while She said chorus: Maybe an astronaut and a mermaid could be good friends Even though we're not the same We could save each other from the monsters And play each other's games If we learned each other's names He said the ocean's not so different from outer space I'm feel kind of weightless in this underwater place And your hair looks cool and crazy, and there are fish that look like stars Tomorrow maybe we could go to Mars I'll bet you'd like to swim around in zero gravity And the martians won't be scary as long as you're with me And we could chase the comets, I think it sounds like fun And you could still be home for dinner when we're done He said (chorus) The universe is wide And it holds so much love inside If you open up your eyes and see These stars were made for you Just as much as me ©2016 Mendonhouse Music (ASCAP/Lucky Bird Music (ASCAP)

Like the sands of the sea or the stars above me I'm just one among a number without end A few lines of poetry in a giant library Ready to give you all I am In a world where if it's broken you can throw it all away The tide takes down the castle and it can be replaced but chorus: There'll never be another you and me This pair is one of a kind And there never has been and there never will be a love like Yours and mine Like a perfect little snowflake there's no one else like you Even with a million falling down And I will always see you when the storms are swirling around And you're feeling like a face lost in a crowd In a world where if it's broken you can throw it all away The wind keeps changing everything but Our love will stay and (chorus) You will hold my heart forever You'll leave your fingerprints And I'll belong to you ©2016 Lucky Bird Music (ASCAP)/Mendonhouse Music (ASCAP)
7.
Sometime you're gonna try it all by yourself But it won't work out quite how you imagine And then the next time you're gonna reach out to a friend And that'll make all of the difference Chorus: Every ninja needs a sensei Every captain needs a first mate Somebody to assist them Or just someone to listen You don't have to do it all alone Use the buddy system The best kite will fall down from the sky If you don't have a string to attach it to And a high five with just one hand in the air It doesn't even know what it's supposed to do (chorus) Every storyteller needs someone to tell their story to And every poet needs a muse Every singer needs a song Everyone needs to belong With a pal who understands And will be their biggest fan Everybody needs a buddy, everybody needs one Everybody needs a buddy, everybody needs one (chorus) ©2016 Lucky Bird Music (ASCAP)/Mendonhouse Music (ASCAP)
8.
If you ever have a dream That takes you far, far across the sea And you're racing across the desert sand On a stallion as fast as you can I'll be there, too I'll be the biggest fan of you, it's true chorus: If you call my name, I will hear you and find you anywhere you are All my love races like a comet up above just to reach you Just to be there And I will be there for you If you ever feel alone I am always closer than you know Like the sunlight shining in your hair My heart is with you everywhere Your whole day through Forever I'll believe in you, it's true (chorus) My love has no finish line I'll be running for you all my life (chorus) ©2016 Mendonhouse Music (ASCAP)

Square peg, round hole Searching for the perfect place to go Instead of trying to fit in You were born to stand out Like a butterfly You don't let them pin you down Old soul, new life Enchanted by your nature to do what's right Not for anyone else, not even for me But for you, you show your colors so brilliantly Like a butterfly, you don't let them pin you down No net, cork board or glass display Could keep your free spirit from fluttering away Square peg, round hole, Anywhere you are is where my heart will go Instead of trying to fit in You were born to stand out Like a butterfly, you don't let them pin you down ©2016 Lucky Bird Music (ASCAP)
