3rd grade Spring Program

2. Small Part of the World
I am a small part of the world I have a small hand which to hold But if I stand by your side And you put your hand in mine Together we can be so strong and bold
I am a small part of the world
I have a small dream in my eye
But if I tell you my dreams
And if you add yours to mine
Together we can reach up to the sky
Hand in hand dreams combine
Voice with voice together for all time

3. Small Part of the World Hand in hand dreams combine
I am a small part of the world
I have a small voice ringing clear
But if I sing out for freedom
And if you add your voice to mine
Together we have nothing left to fear
Hand in hand dreams combine
Voice with voice together for all time
I am a small part of the world
Take my hand

§ O the days of the Kerry dancing, O the ring of the piper’s tune O for one of those hours of gladness, Gone, alas like our youth, too soon (Fine) When the boys begin to gather In the glen of a summer night And the Kerry piper’s tuning made us long with wild delight O to think of it O to dream of it fills my heart with tears (D.S. al Fine)

Sleep.

13. Funiculi, Funicula – Italy
Some think the world is made for fun and frolic
and so do I and so do I
Some think it well to be all melancholic
to pine and sigh to pine and sigh
But I I love to spend my time in singing
some joyous song some joyous song
To set the air with music bravely ringing
is far from wrong is far from wrong
Listen, Listen echoes sound afar!
Listen Listen echoes sound afar!
Funiculi, funicula! Funiculi, funicula!
Echoes sound afar Funiculi funicula!

Que da la distancia se pierde el camino

All the live long day
Just to pass the time away

Rise up so early in the morn?
Don’t you hear the captain shouting
Dinah blow your horn
This train is bound for glory this train
This train is bound for glory
Come gather round and listen to the story
