Boundless Gratitude: Songs of the month

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This song was inspired by the script of a play, "Why the sun and moon moved to the sky", and was sung by 2nd graders who were staging the play in an elementary school assembly

Sun and Moon used to live on the Earth
Where they would visit Water
Then one day Sun invited
Water to visit him and Moon
Not too long after that
Sun and Moon moved away

Chorus:
Now my story will tell you why
Sun and Moon moved to the sky
But where on Earth did the people go?
Where did the people go? I don’t know

Water told Sun and Moon,
“I have a great big family
If you want us to visit you
You need to build a great big house.”
So Sun and Moon built a great big house
And Water came to visit

Chorus

Before Water entered, he asked,
“Is it safe for all my family?”
Sun and Moon answered, “Yes”
So Water filled that great big house
Sun and Moon moved to the roof
But Water kept on rising

And rising, and rising, and rising
And rising, and rising, and rising,
And rising, and rising, and rising,
And rising, and rising, and rising…

Until
Sun and Moon moved to the sky
And that is where they live today

So my story has told you why….
(rest of chorus)
