Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Cozy Seedling Song Chorus 055
Song promise: Spencer and Lillian compare two seedlings without touching them while Bentley looks from Spencer’s safe hold.
The part everyone joins: “Look close, wait, choose what to notice.”
Lyrics
Spencer hears the pumpkin leaves rustle.
Bentley rests against his chest.
Lillian spots two tiny seedlings.
“Let’s look before we choose,” she says.
Look close, wait, choose what to notice.
See the stem and see the leaf.
Hands stay back while eyes keep looking.
Pick one question, soft and brief.
At the chalk-rock corner, Lillian
points beside the shorter stem.
“This one has two round green leaves.”
Spencer says, “Let’s watch that one.”
Look close, wait, choose what to notice.
See the stem and see the leaf.
Hands stay back while eyes keep looking.
Pick one question, soft and brief.
Warm light makes the leaf tips twinkle.
Chalky colors seem to grow.
Make-believe seed songs curl beside them
while the breeze moves soft and slow.
At the story porch, Lillian
points beside the chosen sprout.
Spencer leans so Bentley can look.
“Will the next leaf curl or spread?”
Look close, wait, choose what to notice.
See the stem and see the leaf.
Hands stay back while eyes keep looking.
Pick one question, soft and brief.
Discovery Tag
Look today and look another day.
Changes may be fast or slow.
Leave the seedling where it is,
and come back if you want to know.
