Self Esteem Lyrics

No collection of self esteem lyrics would get our nod without lots of songs by Canadian musician, Raffi - one of North America's most popular children's entertainers. Even mentioning the name Raffi automatically turns on mental radios and starts playing one of his best selling songs, like "Banana Phone" and "Baby Beluga". "Singable Songs for the Very Young", his first album in 1976, remains his best selling CD today.

Millions of children grew up listening to Raffi and are now young adults who remember Raffi’s music as celebrating children and the family of all life.

Raffi, who does not support exploiting children for commercial purposes, has generously provided these self esteem lyrics with their musical scores, enabling parents and music teachers of all kinds to share positive self esteem building singing experiences with their young songsters.

All I Really Need "All I really need is food in my belly, a song in my heart and love in my family".

Baby Beluga "Baby beluga in the deep blue sea, Swim so wild and you swim so free. Heaven above and the sea below, And a little white whale on the go".

A Lot Like Me and You "Each one is a lot like another, The child of a father and mother, A very special son or daughter, A lot like me and you".

The World We Love "Here's to the world we love, Blue skies and ponies and children at play, Earth below, stars above, God bless it every day".

The Sharing Song "It's mine but you can have some With you I'd like to share it, 'Cause if I share it with you, You'll have some too!"

Thanks Alot "Thanks for the sun in the spring, Thanks for the whispering wind, Thanks for the moonlit night, Thanks for the wonder in me".

Teddy Bear Hugs "Teddy Bear hugs when you really need it, Teddy Bear hugs very soft and furry, Teddy's always ready with a bear hug just for you". (Hardly a day goes by without someone in our house singing this song to their Organimal Teddy Bear)

Simple Gifts "It's a gift to be simple, it's a gift to be free, It's a gift to come down to where we ought to be, And when we find ourselves in a place just right, It'll be the valley of love and delight".

One Light One Sun "One world, one home, One world home for everyone, One dream, one song, One world turning everyone".

Simply singing together while doing a tedious household task like sweeping the floor, or driving somewhere routine in the car, is a tremendous self esteem building opportunity for you and your child, especially you let him/her choose a favorite fairly often. So to add to the list of favorites here is an almost inexhaustable resource for of singalong songs:
