Songs for Our Journey 41

The moon was full tonight, which reminded me of this song.
I wrote it in Philly when I was a nanny for Max and Ben,
and then I sang it with Erdin from when she was younger
​than she is in the picture. We signed in ASL as we sang it,
which makes the song extra beautiful. Then I sang it
with my nieces, and lots of kids in preschool music classes. 
The song took on a new meaning
for me years later, when I learned that in many
Eastern traditions, the moon represents Consciousness.  
The Moon Shines Over
© K Hannan circa 1990

The moon shines over the houses
The moon shines over the trees
Sometimes the moon gets very small
Sometimes the moon is round like a ball
Sometimes I can't even see the moon at all
But the moon always comes back.....to me!

The Midst of Spring
© K Hannan 2020
(A couple of words have changed since I recorded this...
but I  love the birds on this recording, so I am leaving it as is.
The lyrics below are the way I sing it now. )


Down by the creekside, in the midst of spring
We hear a little bird, lift her voice and sing
Lift her voice and lift her voice
Lift her voice and sing
We hear a little bird
Lift her voice and sing

Out by the roadside, bright sun upon their lace
Flowers of the Dogwood, sing Amazing Grace
Sing amazing sing amazing, sing Amazing Grace
Flowers of the Dogwood
Sing Amazing Grace

Love in the beginning, Love in the end
Love is the center, all of life's our friend
All of life and all of life, all of life's our friend
Love in the center
All of Life's our friend
Love in the center
​All of Life's our friend
