Music

This is a favorite song.  As we share song lyrics and music with our Esperanza learners we can teach language, vocabulary, culture, AND values.  The Quaker "Simple Gifts" is one such song we can use. 

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

When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right

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

When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right
Till by turning, turning we come round right
