Story Behind The Song

When I was in Hawaii a couple of years ago watching a hula dance that represented waves I was reminded of waking up early in the morning in South Africa and listening to the birds and insects sing their songs with complex harmonies and rhythms. I bet that humans weren't the inventors of music, but immitators of what we heard in the jungles and forrests. I think that the whole earth sings a beautiful symphony to its Creator if we'll just open our ears and litsen.

Song Description

A fun song about how, if we pay attention, we can learn alot by watching the world around us. Warning: includes fun animals sounds for kids!

Lyrics

I am learning everyday to see things in a brand new way
The Lord has opened up my eyes to see creation's praise

Chorus:
And the birds taught me to sing
The waves taught me to dance
But You teach me to love
You teach me to love, love, love

Every creature, everything has a unique song to sing
We could learn a thing or two by watching what they do

Chorus...

The frog taught me to hop, hop, hop
The rooster taught me to 'crow'
And the parrot taught me to share it
with everyone I know

Chorus...

The sheep taught me to 'bah'
The monkey taught me to climb a tree
And the crocodile taught me to smile
for everyone to see

The fish taught me to swim
The skunk made me proud of who I am
And the puppy taught me I'm lucky
to be someone's best friend

Chorus...
