I'm Doing It For Myself
John Paul 1 School -
Song Subject: Responsibility
CHORUS:
I’m not waiting for anybody else
I’m doing it for myself
I’m my own person and I take care of me
When I take responsibility
I’m not waiting for anybody else, ‘cuz
I’m doing it for myself
I’m doing it for myself
I get up in the morning and brush my hair
Put on my clothes and my clean underwear
Brush my teeth and make my bed
Remember my agenda like my teacher said…
CHORUS
When I get to school I take off my boots
When it’s cold outside I put on my snowsuit
I listen to my teacher and we take our turn
The harder I study the better I learn…
CHORUS, plus END: tag last line and slow down
Don't Let Anybody
Squish Your Ish
John Paul 1 School -
Song Subject: Creativity/Thinking For Oneself
"This song was inspired by the book "Ish" by Peter Reynolds -
I was given "homework" to read this story, and of course, loved it -
a highly recommended book!" -
CHORUS:
I’m not going to let anybody put out my fire
I was born to dream and I’m always reaching higher
There’s a spark in me and I keep it precious
So I say: “don’t let anybody squish your ish!”
Don’t let anybody squish your dream
Keep your ish safe and clean
It doesn’t matter what anyone may say
Just do it for you and you do it your way
CHORUS
The only failure is not trying
When I free my ish I feel like I’m flying
Like a bright star shining in the night
My ish shall be my guiding light
CHORUS
