Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Flutter Cozy Quilt Chorus 056
Song promise: Spencer and Lex compare light, sound, and movement across one familiar evening route without deciding that change must feel good or bad.
The part everyone joins: “What changed? Tell what you notice.”
Lyrics
Spencer hears the berry leaves rustle.
Lex sees shadows cross the lane.
Spencer asks, “What changed this evening?”
Lex says, “Light has turned to silver.”
Caller: What changed?
Answer: Tell what you notice.
Caller: What stayed?
Answer: Name that part too.
Together: Look, listen, feel the breeze.
Notice what is different now.
At the footbridge, water darkens.
One last bright patch slips away.
Lex asks, “What is still the same?”
Spencer says, “The creek still moves.”
Caller: What changed?
Answer: Tell what you notice.
Caller: What stayed?
Answer: Name that part too.
Together: Look, listen, feel the breeze.
Notice what is different now.
Cloud wisps fold like quilted corners.
Blackberry leaves pretend to sew.
Make-believe silver stitches flutter
while the evening breezes blow.
On the Hawkins Hollow trail,
Spencer points beside one pale leaf.
Lex says, “It looked green this morning.”
Both look closer without touching.
Caller: What changed?
Answer: Tell what you notice.
Caller: What stayed?
Answer: Name that part too.
Together: Look, listen, feel the breeze.
Notice what is different now.
Noticing Tag
Light may shift and leaves may turn.
Some things change; some things stay.
Tell what you can see or hear,
then look again another day.
