Shine Your Light and Join us in Song

Below are a few songs that our community will be singing at our November Lantern Walk. Children will be learning these song with their teachers at Wild River and Little Gems Preschool. Please feel free to practice them with your family so that our voices may ring through the night.

The Lantern Walk is November 9. If you can not make it to the community Lantern walk, please consider singing these songs as you walk your own neighborhood from 5:00-6:00. Where ever you choose to walk, know that our whole community is out sharing their song (and light) with the world.

To make you own lanterns at home, please check out this blog post.

I Go With My Little Lantern

I go with my little lantern, my lantern is
going with me
Above the stars are shining, on Earth shines
my lantern with me
My light shines bright, in darkest night, la bimba, la bamba, la bee
My light shines bright, in darkest night, la bimba, la bamba, la bee

Glimmer Lantern Glimmer

Glimmer lantern glimmer,
Little stars a shimmer
Over meadow, moor and dale
Fitter flutter elfin veil
Pee wit pee wit
Tikka-tikka-tikka
Rucoo Rucoo

Glimmer lantern glimmer
Little stars a shimmer
Over rock and stock and stone
Wander tripping little gnome
Pee wit pee wit
Tikka-tikka-tikka
Rucoo Rucoo

High and Blue the Sky

High and blue the sky, Trees are very tall, Wild geese flying seem so small.
See, On silent wings in flocks they go, Never parting from a single row
We go through the land, Like a wild geese band, Children of one flight are we.

Clear and dark the night, Stars are very bright, Lanterns shining seem so small.
See, In single file we walk along, Singing joyfully our lantern song.
We go through the land, Like a wild geese band, Children of one light are we.

Hold the Sun

Leaves are letting go

All across the hillside

Their sweetness stored below

All throughout the wintertime

I will hold this sun in my heart (x3)

And we’ll make it through the dark
