Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Brave Chalk Path Chorus 062
Song promise: Callen notices for Bentley, chooses a non-contact response, and shares the moment through a quiet hum.
The part everyone joins: “Pick what to notice; sort what is gentle; share what you saw.”
Lyrics
Callen hears the meadow grass whisper.
Bentley rests against his chest.
Callen sees one chalk mark by the gate.
“Someone drew a winding path.”
Pick what to notice; sort what is gentle.
Look without touching; wait where you are.
Share with a hum or one quiet word.
Wonder can stay near or far.
At the porch steps, one small moth
rests beside the chalky line.
Callen stops and keeps some distance.
“We can watch and give it time.”
Pick what to notice; sort what is gentle.
Look without touching; wait where you are.
Share with a hum or one quiet word.
Wonder can stay near or far.
Pearl-bright chalk marks seem to tiptoe.
Berry leaves pretend to glow.
Make-believe path stars drift beside them
while the soft breeze moves below.
At the berry patch, the same moth
rests upon one shaded leaf.
Callen hums so Bentley can listen.
Both stay back and let it be.
Pick what to notice; sort what is gentle.
Look without touching; wait where you are.
Share with a hum or one quiet word.
Wonder can stay near or far.
Wonder Tag
Some small things stay for a moment.
Some may leave before we know.
Watch without a chase or hurry.
Let the little living go.
