This song poem is from a book, available along with other free downloads at www.expandingheart.com . I wrote it for kids of all ages (including myself). The book is titled "Keys to Success". It's currently 20 say aloud affirmations, poems, songs. Eventually I would like to also make available a CD of the say aloud poems in a repeat after me format so anyone can learn these simple positive sayings.
"A Rainbow Bright" is a page from the book.  Click here, A Rainbow Bright, to read or print a copy.  It's illustrated.   
To hear a draft of the song, go to the home page of my art portfolio site, www.mcgillis.us or to www.expandingheart.com  under Songs tab.  When I first wrote it, I used "we" in all the verses, because that is truly my heart for all of us to be free from those things which keep us from being our best.  Eventually I will record the newer version with "I", but it's not a priority at the moment.  If you go to listen, you'll know if I updated or not.

I know, for me, the key is when I change my thinking, I can change my life.  It is such a simple concept.  It is not a secret.  It seems like we spend so much time and energy trying to change everything around us, when the same time and energy could be much more productively spent on changing ourselves.  (Off on a tangent again!)  I want us all to be free.  I am responsible for me.  I changed the verses (except the last) to "I" because of a suggestion from Norman Stewart, an incredibly creative, intelligent, kind teacher I had the pleasure of taking a few music lessons from.  He taught me so much in such a short amount of time.  He teaches at Evans Music City in Houston, Texas.  He is an excellent teacher.  Changing "we" to "I" makes sense.  I am responsible.  I can change.  I want to make a difference.  I will do whatever it takes to free myself from the baggage of my past so I can be more of service to all.  "I" is real.  It has a great deal of power in it.  What kind of life will I make for myself?  Enough said.  It's all been said and written before by so many of the great beings that have walked this same earth before we got here.  Peace.
