Come With Me 02:26
Come with me, come Come and see, come To a world made up of wind and sky Where daisies bloom and redbirds fly We want you to play Outside with us all day In a place that still has room for more Come before you grow up anymore And stay Come Come with me, come Come and see, come To a world made up of girls and boys With trees for houses and stones for toys You don't have to bring Very much of anything But we hope that you will come along To a world where life is like a song to sing Please come We want you to come and play We want you to stay all day We want you to come and play We want you to stay all day Come

Oh John the rabbit, yes ma'am Got a mighty habit yes ma'am Jumping in my garden " Cutting down my cabbage " My sweet potatoes " My fresh tomatoes " And If i live " To see next fall " I ain't gonna have " No trouble at all " Oh John the rabbit " Got a mighty habit " Jumping up in the morning " Putting on his clothes His socks and shoes His shirt and pants " And if he's ready " at half past eight " He can go to school " and he won't be late" Oh John the rabbit, yes ma'am Got a mighty habit yes ma'am Jumping in my garden " Cutting down my lettuce " And all my carrots " My squash and peppers " And If i live " To see next spring " I ain't gonna have " A cotton pickin thing" And if I live " to see next fall " I ain't gonna have " no cotton at all "

Do you hear the music of the mountains listening from your cabin bed sunday evenings, singing softly lakes and trees, peaks and valleys I can hear the music of the mountains As you walk the path with me nature calls us like a sister underneath the canopy of trees that give us shade and shelter Do you hear the music of the mountains standing at the edge of night in the gloaming, when all is quiet listen for the still, small voices I can hear the music of the mountains Wind is rustling through the trees as night falls upon the hillside we lie on an open field the great expanse of stars before us Do you hear the music of the mountains rising up in majesty as I breathe in all the beauty it's there to see, for you and me it's crystal clear, for all to hear And can you hear the music the mountains

Donna Donna 03:57
On a wagon bound for market there's a calf with a mournful eye high above him there's a swallow winging swiftly through the sky How the winds are laughing they laugh with all their might laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night Donna donna donna... Stop complaining, says the farmer who told you a calf to be? why don't you have wings to fly with like the swallow so proud and free How the winds are laughing they laugh with all their might laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night Donna donna donna... Calves are easily bound and slaughtered never knowing the reason why but whoever treasures freedom like the swallow has learned to fly How the winds are laughing they laugh with all their might laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night Donna donna donna...

Today 02:23
Today I think I'll ride a bike and then i'll make a pie and dress up in a gown Today I think i'll dip a paddle then I'll fly a kite and then I'll lie down And watch the clouds drift across the sky then i'll jump and flitter away just like a butterfly Today I think I'll kick a ball and then I'll take a walk and then I'll climb a tree Today I think I'll build a bridge and then I'll fight a battle and then I'll see a beautiful stone that looks like glass then run and lose the rock as it falls through the hole in the pocket of my pants Today I think i'll play a game and then i'll sit and eat an apple to the core Today I think I'll swing a bat and then I'll pick some flowers then I'll pick some more Today I think I'll ride a bike and then i'll make a pie and dress up in a gown Today I think i'll dip a paddle then I'll fly a kite and then I'll lie down...

Have you felt the tide on your toes have you felt the wind blow have you seen the sun come up over the top of the ocean and as the seagulls fly through the clouds and the sky feeling the spray on their wings and other lovely things as they go by Have you felt the sand on your legs as the water laps up and begs you to get up and get in hop a few waves and then dry out under the sun bury your feet until they're gone close your eyes and hear the water play hear it push and pull all day Did you write your name in the sand did you dig a moat around a castle made of drips with plastic buckets and shovels the tide pushed the castle down but then you built a better one with spires full of sand made by your hands and it your own way Did you float and look at the sky did the ocean take you high over the crest out of reach and ride you back to the beach did you look for shells on the shore did you go back out for more close your eyes and feel the water play feel it push and pull you all day Have you felt the tide on your toes have you felt the wind blow have you seen the sun come up over the top of the ocean

Everybody needs a special place where they can race or sit quietly everybody needs a place to go and it's good to know there's one for you and me Because life is hard it feels good to get away from the bustle of the world to a place where you can play Everybody needs a special place where they can race or sit quietly everybody needs a place to go and it's good to know there's one for you and me If you're feeling low just breathe in the morning air o the places you can go if you dare Everybody needs a special place where they can race or sit quietly everybody needs a place to go and it's good to know there's one for you and me it's there for you and me

I went for a month into the mountains And breathed the air so fresh and clean I walked across the bridge to my cabin And smiling faces waited there We swam and we rode upon the horses We sang and danced in one joyous wheel Tetherball and four-square by the fountain And heart-sung blessings at every meal I want to live I want to run through these open fields Where there is hope Where there is joy Where the mountains yield To our prayers And songs for peace on Earth Where we nestle in our beds and hear the finest symphony on Earth I went for a month into the mountains I awoke and said, "Good morning, sun" And as it rose into the sky we counted All our blessings one by one I acted in the plays and ran the courses And stretched my body with delight All a part of this great group of laughter That stayed until we said goodnight Day is done Gone the sun From lakes, hills and skies And we stood around the fire Warmed by embered light Singing songs And prayers for peace on Earth Then we nestled in our beds And heard the finest symphony on Earth When my time had ended in the mountains My mother drove me down the winding roads Weaving through the tears and towns into the flatlands And I wondered which i should call my home The world has its meanness and vainglory Sometimes i think i cannot endure And then i close my eyes and feel the mountains And hold close all of my memories there Where I could live Where i could run through the open fields Where there is hope Where there is joy Where the mountains yield To our prayers And songs for peace on Earth Then we nestled in our beds And heard the finest symphony on Earth

about

I Will Go Into The Day, the newest album by critically acclaimed songwriter Caroline Herring, sets to music the magic and wonder of childhood, and celebrates the joys of imaginative play.

So much of our children’s worlds revolves around endless forms of technology, with constant beeps and buzzes. Herring’s album invites children to go with her into the great outdoors, where taking a walk is a celebration, and where even one’s backyard becomes a place of captivation, joy, and endless amusement.
