You Are Magic is an upbeat collection of songs designed to open a spiritual dialogue for young children and families. What are the values we choose to live by, and how do we express them? Who are we, and why are we here? How do we connect with others? Where does creativity come from? How do we connect to the natural world? What can we do to make the world a better place?
This album is a concept album. The over-arching theme is that our own creative energy and momentum, which comes to us (especially children) naturally, is reflective of the creative energy and momentum of the universe. Everything we do reflects how we are a part of something bigger, and the more we are authentic in our self-expression, the more we reflect the true nature of who we are and why we are here. I really felt like kids and families needed to know this - that creativity, awareness, connectedness, and empathy are the sources of becoming and growing into who you really can be in the world. I envision the album as a tree, starting with the Roots & Branches, and reaching all the way through the Leaves & Sky.

about
Our creativity flows from a place beyond ourselves, through us, and reaches out to others. We just have to be receptive to it, engage with it, and share it!
lyrics
Draw
I am a pencil
I can write write write
I am a pencil I can draw
I am moving around on a big blank page
And I can do it all
I am a crayon
I can color color color
I am a crayon
I can glide
across the surface of a big blank book
With all the mysteries inside
I am a comet
I can fly fly fly
I am a comet full of light
I am bursting through the inky dark sky
I am an asteroid, I am a meteor, I am a shooting star
I am a beacon in the night
Oooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
la la la la la
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
la la la la la
I am a river I can run, run, run
I am a river I can flow
splashing my way around the boulders and logs
I am clean and clear, I am moving fast, I am cool and deep
Bring a boat and you can row
Oooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
la la la la la
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
la la la la la
We are all leaves on the same big tree
We are all growing in the sun
We drop to the ground and we begin again
We are green and gold, we are growing strong, we are giving life
And we are having fun
