Hitting the proverbial wall. Wondering how to peel off of it. Kids can help! Kids to the rescue!

lyrics

Grand Promenade

Sometimes I bend like a willow
Sometimes I’m hard as steel
Sometimes I reach for you
Sometimes I just can’t feel

And then we all join hands together
In this Grand Promenade
And the dance goes on and on
Until the circle is made

They’re cutting down the redwoods
Polluting the sea
I’m supposed to help keep it together
Well you must excuse me
There’s days I’m good for nothing
Except staring at the wall
Let the world crumble around me
I don’t care at all...

I’m feeling, so broken
Impossible to mend,
Will this, circle
Ever really end

Then I see the trust and innocence
In my children’s eyes
That’s enough to fan the flames
That are flickering inside
And I get it all together
I’m a force to reckon with
I’ll make the world a better place
For us all to live

Sometimes I bend like a willow
Sometimes I’m hard as steel
Sometimes I reach for you
Sometimes I just can’t feel

And then we all join hands together
In this Grand Promenade
And the dance goes on and on
Until the circle is made
Until the circle is made....
