1. Let Me Be Your Song [03:09]
Performed by: Cantus and the Minstrels
Music grows in the rose,
Rock and rain and the blowin' snowstorm.
Everything seems to sing,
Everywhere I go.
I say, 1, 2, play me do.
Let me sound as sweet as you.
Play me wide.
Play me long.
Let me be your song.
Play me down on the ground.
Song comes singing from the midnight places.
Raise me high in the sky.
Song comes drifting through.
I say, 1, 2, play me do.
Let me sound as sweet as you.
Play me wide.
Play me long.
Let me be your song.
Play me high.
Play me low.
Play me where the wild winds blowing.
Play me wide.
Play me long.
Play me for your song.
I say, 1, 2, play me do.
Let me sound as sweet as you.
Play me wide.
Play me long.
Let me be your song.
2. The Medley [02:29]
Performed by: The Fraggles
[Sung in "round" style, it has a lot of "la la"'s and such]
Our melody,
Come and sing it with me.
It's a song where you know you belong.
Our melody,
Come and sing it with me.
'Cause you know we belong to the song.
