Song Lyrics:  I Am Magpie

I am a magpie, I build myself a nest
Use my creativity, make my home the best
I add something shiny
To catch the wondering eye
I am magpie

I am an army ant, I make an awesome hill
Use my creativity
To do the queen’s good will
With the other workers
Bring back animals and plants
I am an army ant

I am a flower, I bud up and bloom
Use my creativity, make nectar and perfume
I show the sweet simplicity
Of nature’s pretty power
I am a Flower

I am a beaver, I build a cozy dam
I use my creativity, my tail just like a hand
I am a displaced water
Civil engineer achiever
I am a beaver

I am a hermit crab, I find a fancy shell
Use my creativity, choose my dwelling well
The coolest mobile home
A beach lover could have
I am a hermit crab

I am a human being, I make up lots of stuff
Use my creativity, spread pure artistic love
I train my mind and muscles
To accomplish anything
I am a human being
That’s why can sing this little song
