The Laboratory School, University of Hawaii Manoa, sang the 'Garden Song' by David Mallett with music teacher Chris Zorn, when Julia Morton-Marr dedicated their International School Peace Garden on December 2, 2008 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. The children who are singing were from Grade 2/3. Here are the words. Sing along with the children and then with the composer David Mallett.

Garden Song by David Mallett Inch by inch, row by row Gonna make this garden grow All it takes is a rake and hoe And a piece of fertile ground. Inch by inch, row by row Someone bless these seeds I sew Someone warm them from below ‘Til the rains come tumbling down. Pullin’ weeds and pickin’ stones Man is made of dreams and bones Feel the need to grow my own Cause the time is close at hand. Grain for grain, sun and rain Find my way in nature’s chain Tune my body and my brain To the music from the land. Plant your rows straight and long Temper them with prayer and song Mother Earth will make you strong If you give her love and care An old crow watching hungrily From his perch in yonder tree And in my garden I’m as free As that feathered thief up there. Repeat 1 and 2 ©Cherry Lane Music Co (ASCAP)
You can also hear the song on YouTube with John Denver and the muppets.
This podcast is the audio to go with the slideshow 'IHTEC Report' for the Hawaiian Charter Schools Conference Feb. 9, 2009. By Julia Morton-Marr, Founding President of the International Holistic Tourism Education Centre - IHTEC. www.ihtec.org
The children of Port Elliot Primary School with Shane Howard and Anne Todd, composed and sang "Let the Murray Flow" in 2004. They are very concerned with the affect of drought on the River Murray at the Lower Lakes and River Murray's Mouth, in South Australia. Here are the words so that you can sing along with the students.
Let The Murray Flow - words and lyrics by Shane Howard and Anne Todd.
"Oh Australia, the hardest heart would understand. Just to feel your wilderness, has stirred these things in me.
Chorus: Let the Murray Flow, let the river run free, The Murray River should be strong and free, From the Snowy mountains to Goolwa's southern shores, Has to be something worth fighting for.
Oh the Murray Mouth, it's at the end of its journey south, Its Mulloway and The Coorong, depend upon you now.
Chorus
The river gums and the pelicans, The paddlesteamers and the Murray Cod, Just to swim in the river - cools the blood in me.
Chorus
We stand together with the Ngarrindjeri, To save the river now for all to see, The Great White Pointers and the Southern Right Whales, Are swimming in Encounter Bay.
Chorus

This audio has been designed to be played with the International School Peace Gardens slide show. It also tells the story of what schools have achieved since 1993, when IHTEC began, and can be listened to on its own.
