    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

This song is is based around the idea of renewal, seeing all sides, and changing perspectives. We are always changing and growing, and moving forward, and it’s great for kids to take a moment and reflect on how far they’ve come, where they would like to go, and who is beside them along the way.

lyrics

Turn Around

Turn around, turn around, turn around now….

Turn around
Look behind you
Where were you this morning? Yesterday? Last year?

Turn around
Look in front of you
Where are you going?
The future is here

Turn around
Look to your left
Give love and support to the friend who is standing there

Turn around
Look to your right
Give a hug or a smile
Show that person that you care

Like the earth, you are turning
Revolving and changing
Facing the sun
Then facing the moon
Like the earth, you are green
With great possibility
Your turn will come
Not a moment too soon

Turn around
Look up
Do you see the sky?
How far does it reach?
Do you wish you could fly?

Turn around
Look down
Are there bugs, are there worms?
Is there dirt, water, grass?
Are there fish swimming by?

Like the earth, you are turning
Revolving and changing
Facing the sun
Then facing the moon
Like the earth, you are green
With great possibility
Your turn will come
Not a moment too soon
