Song Description
There is a tribe in Africa that honors each new birth with a unique melody, taught to the entire village and sung each year on the child's birthday. I wrote this song when my nephew was born, and promise to sing it to him every year!

Lyrics
ZACHARY AARON
Zachary Aaron, welcome to Brooklyn
Everybody's happy that you came.
Zachary Aaron, life here in Brooklyn
Will never, ever be the same!
Hey, Little One, hey, Little One, hey.
Hey, Little One, hey, Little One, hey.
Will you sing like a bird?
Will you swim like a fish?
Will you do all the things
That your Mom and Dad wish?
Whatever you do, just be you.
CHORUS
Will you run like the wind?
Will you stand like a tree?
Will you write a great book
By the time you are three?
Whoever you are, you're a star.
CHORUS
Hey, Little One, hey, Little One, hey.
Hey, Little One, hey, Little One, hey.
Hey, Little One, hey, Little One, hey.
