Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Brave Website Freebie Theme A
Song promise: Aydin and Aleea discover that Hawkins Hollow belonging is created through many valid ways of joining one shared refrain.
The part everyone joins: “Come as you are; there is room in the song.”
Lyrics
Aydin hears the lane go crunching
under footsteps, light and slow.
Aleea hears the leaves keep time:
“There is room for how you go.”
Come as you are; there is room in the song.
Sing it or hum it, tap it along.
Choose how you join; every choice can belong.
Come as you are; there is room in the song.
In the clover, breeze-cool whispers
travel low from leaf to leaf.
Aydin taps a two-beat answer;
Aleea sings the welcome theme.
Come as you are; there is room in the song.
Sing it or hum it, tap it along.
Choose how you join; every choice can belong.
Come as you are; there is room in the song.
Dappled shadows make a doorway;
clover stars begin to glow.
Not a gate, but make-believe—
just a bright idea they know.
On firefly hill they pause together.
Aydin asks, “What sound feels right?”
Aleea hears the first firefly hum;
both send one brave note into the light.
Come as you are; there is room in the song.
Sing it or hum it, tap it along.
Choose how you join; every choice can belong.
Come as you are; there is room in the song.
Welcome Tag
Near or far, loud or quiet,
moving, watching, joining when ready—
Hawkins Hollow holds the chorus;
every child can make it steady.
