CD Song Lyrics: Witness, Year Red, Semester 2, Age 2 — Grade 4 Track 1: Everything Shines Bright a Little Contributor: Justin Roberts © 2003 Justin Roberts "Star of beauty, star of bright. Will you guide us safely tonight?" "Yes I will, boys, follow me. I'll get you there in a 1-2-3." Three Wise Men were following a star The first one said, ''It's been very, very far.'' The second one said, ''Now don't you fret.'' Then the third one said, ''Well we aren't there yet.'' Then they came upon a child who looked like a king And they all began to sing: CHORUS Everything shines bright a little Everything shines its light just a little Everything is wonderful — we're out here in the night Everything feels put together Everything shines on forever Everything is wonderful here beneath this light The Wise Men brought gold, frankincense and myrrh Mary said, ''Well you didn't have to sir.'' The second one said, ''What a lovely site.'' The third one said, ''Beneath a star so bright.'' When they came upon that child who looked like a king They all began to sing: CHORUS And we're out here in the night Oh we're standing in the light ''Star of beauty, star of bright. Will you guide us safely tonight?''

Into a tree with great big leafy branches reaching to the sky, sky, sky Which is seen from high above by a family of birds Flyin' around looking for a home, home, home And the birds decide to build their nest in the tree With the great big branches reaching to the sky That came from the buds that stretched into shoots With the lush green bunches of leafy, leafy leaves On the stem that sprouted up to sing a little song With the roots growing deep to hold it in the earth From the seed that lay down there in the soil Within that seed, was the promise of something great that no one could see Until now!
