Lovingkindness
"Lovingkindness" appears on our Family Values album. I based the lyrics for this song on the Buddhist practice of Lovingkindness Meditation (or, Metta), whereby you send wishes for happiness, health, safety and peace to yourself and then others in ever-widening circles of love. Sing this song with your children in the morning to set the intention for the day, or any time you need a reminder of the power of love and kindness!
Please note: If you'd like the song in a different key, let me know via email and I'll be happy to send it to you!

May you be peaceful
May you be at ease
With love in your heart and all around
VERSE 1
Well you can sing your love (sing your love)
And you can dance your love (dance your love)
And you can play your love (play your love)
Today, my love (mm-mm-mm)
