Twenty Two Little Minds

from BackTracks (1999) by James Hersch

/

about

I made this song up immediately after visiting and singing for my daughter's kindergarten class of twenty two kids.

lyrics

Twenty two little minds all in a row
One way or another, little minds are gonna grow
Each one different, ready one and all
To be taught to think big or taught to think small

Twenty two little minds like an empty page
So much gets written at a tender age
Faces wide, open to the touch
Gonna have to learn how to hide when it hurts too much

Twenty two little minds looking at me
I wonder what they're thinking, I wonder what they see
I do my best; I wish I could do more
For those twenty two minds on the kindergarten floor

Twenty two little minds all in a row
One way or another, little minds are gonna grow
Each one different, every one the same
Twenty two little minds, twenty two little flames
