Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Little Porch Light Chorus 047
Song promise: Callen names what space he and Bentley need, and Lillian helps prepare it without taking over.
The part everyone joins: “Make some room; settle together.”
Lyrics
Callen hears the meadow grass hush.
Bentley rests against his chest.
Lillian carries one light cushion.
“Where would help you both rest best?”
Make some room; settle together.
Ask what helps, then hear the choice.
Move one thing and leave a clear place.
Hush or hum with your own voice.
At the porch steps, Callen answers,
“Please leave space beside the rail.”
Lillian waits while Callen sits down,
holding Bentley safe and still.
Make some room; settle together.
Ask what helps, then hear the choice.
Move one thing and leave a clear place.
Hush or hum with your own voice.
High white clouds look soft as pillows.
Berry leaves pretend to glow.
Make-believe porch lights blink beside them
while the farm-path breezes blow.
At the berry patch, Lillian
lowers one cushion beside the rail.
Callen hums while holding Bentley.
The place beside them stays clear.
Make some room; settle together.
Ask what helps, then hear the choice.
Move one thing and leave a clear place.
Hush or hum with your own voice.
Settling Tag
Some need quiet. Some like humming.
Some need space before they stay.
Ask, then make one helpful change,
and let each person choose their way.
