THE STARFISH SONG

Starfish Connection has its own Starfish Song, which our own students are responsible for! Last fall our elementary students had a concert and workshop with the Connecticut State Troubadour, Kristen Graves. She solicited thoughts and feelings about Starfish from our students. As a result their ideas became our very own Starfish song.

We Are Starfish
by
Kristen Graves

When things get hard and it’s been a long day,
We are Starfish, we are brave.
Feeling shy and don’t know what to say,
We are Starfish, we are brave.

Chorus

Yes we are, yes we are,
We are all born shooting stars.
Make our dreams come true, it’s up to me and you,
We are Starfish, yes we are.

We know who we are so we wrote this song,
We are Starfish, we are strong.
Built a family together where we all belong,
We are Starfish, we are strong.

Chorus

We never give up once we start,
We are Starfish, we are smart.
We stand up for each other with our hearts,
We are Starfish, we are smart.

Chorus
