Chorus
We can do hard things
We can do big things
Through the ups and downs
Make the world go wow!
Verses
Six little pigs
Every day I wake up and make the world SHINE
Just to make a difference every single TIME
When I did this service
It was a lot to TAKE
But helpin my community
Was a piece of CAKE

When we do big things it makes the world go ROUND
You must feel real proud to get to sing so LOUD
Protect the earth, be brave and use your VOICE
You can go up or down its not fate, it’s your CHOICE

Oh Wow
Look at what we did
We’re unstoppable
Now——- unstoppable
So listen to your mind and heart
To guide you through the dark
But when it feels never ending (feels never ending)
Just don’t stop (don’t stop)

Sometimes everyone has a hard time
Sometimes everyone needs help sometimes
Look at all the trash on the bib big beach
Tell me watcha feel
Tell me watcha think
Help the world!

About the Book
Here We Are
Written by Oliver Jeffers
Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth by Oliver Jeffers is a children’s book that serves as a gentle, humorous, and heartfelt “user’s guide” to our planet, created for his son but with universal appeal. It uses his signature illustrations to explain Earth’s land, sea, sky, and its diverse inhabitants, emphasizing kindness, tolerance, and the idea that we are all connected, despite our differences. The book covers basic concepts like day/night, taking care of our bodies, and the vastness of space, all while encouraging empathy and care for the planet and each other,
