The Lost Voices kids constantly amaze us with the incredible song lyrics they write. Sometimes the songs are sad, sometimes they’re happy, sometimes they’re hopeful, sometimes they’re goofy, and sometimes they are all of these things. For the privacy and protection of the kids, we can’t show you their faces, and we can’t let you hear their individual voices. But the songs they write and sing as a group are safe to share, and shed a light on their struggles and successes. This one is one of our favorites, because it’s silly and deeply insightful at the same time.
Amazing Paper
All the amazing things
You can do with paper
There’s no limit because
You’re the creator
Draw a landscape, a cat, a bunny, or a teddy bear.
Draw a monkey on a pony, galloping with fleas in his hair.
All the amazing things
You can do with paper
There’s no limit because
You’re the creator
Write about your problems, joy, hurt, and pain
Write a letter to your future self about all the love you’ll gain
All the amazing things
You can do with paper
There’s no limit because
You’re the creator
You can rip it up, and throw it away
Unless it’s money – think of all the bills you can pay
And help other people take their pain away
All the amazing things
You can do with paper
There’s no limit because
You’re the creator
Repeat chorus, then repeat last two lines as coda
