Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Tiny Cookie Tray Chorus 063
Song promise: Spencer and Austin compare two careful carries, name one change that helped, and leave the next choice open.
The part everyone joins: “Try, pause, change one thing.”
Lyrics
Spencer hears the tray edge tapping.
Austin tries a careful walk.
One cool cookie slides a little.
Both stop before the next step.
Try, pause, change one thing.
Hold it level; take one step.
Ask for help or rest a moment.
Then decide what you will try.
At the pond stones, Spencer asks him,
“What might help the tray stay still?”
Austin says, “I’ll use both hands
and choose the flat path by the hill.”
Try, pause, change one thing.
Hold it level; take one step.
Ask for help or rest a moment.
Then decide what you will try.
Golden sun patches look like cookies.
Pond rings seem to tap along.
Make-believe tray beats circle softly
while the breeze moves through the grass.
At the riverside bend, Austin
holds the tray with both hands wide.
One cool cookie stays in place.
Spencer says, “What helped this time?”
Try, pause, change one thing.
Hold it level; take one step.
Ask for help or rest a moment.
Then decide what you will try.
Growth Tag
Some tries wobble. Some feel steadier.
Both can show us what to change.
Name the part that helped this time,
then choose whether to try again.
