Music for the kid in everyone!
My Family Tree
We had so much fun making "My Family Tree". We recorded it in an old movie theater and Miss Teresa got to sing on the stage all by herself! We brought in a lot of kids to sing in the choir on songs like "Little Light", "Mama" and "You're the One". Our dog, Odie, used to run all around the theater with our boys chasing him!
Colors
Red's for the rosy cheeks you wear
Black for the color of your hair
Blue for your eyes so deep and true
Brown for the skin all over you
Chorus:
Colors, Colors
The world is made of Colors
Colors, Colors
And we're all made of love
Gold's for the curls that frame your face
Pink for your toes that dance with grace
Silver, Grandma and Grandpa's hair
Purple, your favorite shirt to wear
Chorus
Bridge:
So raise your flag of color
Up high and show your pride
'Cause though we all look different
We're just the same inside
Green on the branches of the trees
Yellow the stripes on bumble bees
Orange and tan leaves in the Fall
Rainbow's the best one of them all
Chorus

Little Light
Sometimes the road it gets long and windy
Sometimes I just can't go on
That's when I stop, take a deep breath
And search in my heart for this song
Chorus:
Little Light, Little Light
Little Light inside of me
Little Light, Little Light
You shine brightly
Littl Light, Little Light
You're the very heart of me
Little Light won't you lead my way
Bridge (Traditional)
This Little Light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This Little Light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This Little Light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine
Sometimes the sky it is blue forever
The sun up above warms my face
That's when I stop, take a deep breath
And give thanks for my peaceful place
Chorus
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Down to the Ocean
Come on down to the ocean
Come on down to the shore
Come on down to the ocean with me
Good things are in store
Chorus:
Leave behind your troubles, darling
Leave behind your doubt
Leave behind your expectations
It will all work out
Come on down to the ocean, honey
Let's splash in the waves
Come on down to the ocean with me
We'll explore the caves
Chorus
Come on down to the ocean with me
Hear the water roar
Come on down to the ocean with me
Watch the seagulls soar
Chorus

You Are The Future
When I see you, I'm so glad you're here
And I our eyes meet, I smile that your near
Now you're smiling back at me, sparkle in your eye
Want to give the best to you, promise I will try
Chorus
You are the future, you are the light
You are the sunrise of every night
When you're laughing, I start laughing, too
And if you want to sing, I'll harmonize with you
As you're dancing all around, alive and fun and free
I want to give the best to you, the best is who you'll be
Chorus
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Jump For Joy
Everybody off your chair
Everybody, everywhere
And as you're rising to your feet
Give yourself a special treat
Chorus:
And Jump, Jump For Joy
Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja, Jump
Jump For Joy
When you're feeling kind of down
That's the time to move around
Moping never solved a thing
So, turn your frown to smiling
Chorus
Bridge:
Get out
Shout out
Look bright
Feel light
Chorus
When you're happy, joyful, glad
Share your mood with someone sad
You may lift them from their seat
With happy arms and happy feet
Chorus
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
You've Got Mail
Dad and I walk hand in hand
To that special box
We bring that tiny key
That only ours unlocks
Chorus:
He quickly shuffles through to see
Is there any there for me?
Three little words I love to say
"You've got mail!"
Mail, mail, mail
Letters, postcards, packages
Are all sent with care
And when they have my name on them
It's okay to tear
Chorus
So when my mailbox fails me
I don't feel despair
I run to my computer screen
Perhaps I'll find some there
Chorus:
Three little words I love to hear
It's like music to my ears
Go on let me hear
"You've got mail!"
Mail, mail, mail
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Mama
Your voice comes from heaven
Like the stardust falls to earth
I'm wrapped in the melody
I hear a song of birth
Chorus:
Sing to me, Mama
Sing to me, Mama
Please sing to me Mama
Your voice I want to hear
When I need encouragement
I want to know you're near
Chorus
Bridge:
Soft as the morning light
Soft as the breeze
Big as the mountains
Big as the sea
Soft as the morning light
Soft as the breeze
When I walk in wonder
At the flowers, birds and sky
The wind singing through the trees
Reminds me you're close by
Chorus
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
You're the One
We started each day
In a wonderful way
Because you were there
We knew that you cared
Chorus:
To us you were fun
To us you were learning
To us you're the one
To us you are love
You helped us to grow
Taught us things we didn't know
You said we had gifts
Always gave us a lift
Chorus:
Bridge:
And we thank you
We thank, we thank you
For all you shared
Chorus

My Family Tree
Shilu was born in China but now she lives right here
And so does the family she loves so dear
She'll always have her ancestors in another land
It's the same and it's different
But it all spells love
Chorus:
My Family Tree
It's a part of me
My Family Tree
Jose was just a small boy when he left Mexico
His parents took him to a land he didn't know
They promised to take care of him, give him a better life
Jose grew, went to school, made new friends and met his wife
It's the same and it's different
But it all spells love
Chorus
Bridge:
My Family Tree, it's a part of me
But I've got other parts, too, you know
Like what I feel and think, and where I plan to go
It's cool to know my ancestry
But now it's me making history...word!
Daniela sailed here with her family, all the way from Italy
She says she always remembers spotting the Statue of Liberty
Soon her Nona came to live here, New York felt just like home
Family is with you, no matter where you roam
It's the same and it's different
But it all spells love
Chorus
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Ants in Yer Pants Dance
Papa took Mama and Mama took me
To picnic under the shady oak tree
We laid out our tablecloth and tasty lunch, too
When the ants marched in there was one thing to do
Chorus:
We did the
Ants, Ants in yer pants dance
Ants, ants in yer pants dance
Ants, ants in yer pants dance
Doin' that crazy ants dance
I love the outdoors, I love to eat
Putting them together is a special treat
But I'm not the only one who likes to have fun
Those crazy little ants have got us on the run
Chorus
We thought the coast was clear to eat our pie
Little did we know the ants would want a try
Our friends were back, hungry as can be
But we don't mind 'cause they're good company
Chorus
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
Radio Randy
Everybody knows him
They know him by name
And the truth is without him
This town's not the same
Chorus:
Radio Randy, Radio Randy
Radio Randy, Radio Randy
He stops by the cafe
Just to say "hello"
Then he shares a song or two
Before he has to go
Chorus
Bridge:
See him really movin'
Groovin' down the street
Boombox on his shoulders
Living beat by beat
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
You're Awesome
I've got a secret
It's your secret, too
Lean in closer
I'll tell it to you, I'll tell it to you
Chorus:
You're Awesome, you're awesome
You're awesome, you're awesome
I've got a message
It's written in stone
It's the message
That you've always know, that you've always known
Chorus
c. 2009 Teresa Gasca-Burk & Gary Burk
