I’m exhausted”	Track 8 - Wind Moves Me Wind moves me Even though I can’t see it Wind moves me But I can sure feel it Wind moves me The wind swings me back and forth I sway with the wind The wind pushes me forward Wind blows me back The wind lifts me off the ground And twirls me around!

Track 4 - Leaves Fall Down Orange leaves are falling down Falling down, falling down Orange leaves are falling down On this windy day I am raking up the leaves Up the leaves, up the leaves I am raking up the leaves In a great, big pile Now I’m jumping in the pile In the pile, in the pile Now I’m jumping in the pile See me smile	Track 10 - Thunderstorm Song (Instrumental)
Track 5 - Migrate It’s time for me to migrate It’s time for me to migrate From the north to the south Before it’s too late, I’ll migrate Lift your knees and follow me Lift your knees and follow me Flap your wings, it’s time to fly Flap your wings, it’s time to fly Wiggle your fins, let’s take a swim Wiggle your fins, let’s take a swim	Track 11 - Cloud Shapes On my back I lie, and look up to the sky So many fluffy shapes I see Float in front of me Look to the left Look to the right Clouds are such a beautiful sight Watch me catch a cloud up high And pull it down from the sky
Track 6 - Baby Bear Wakes Up Hungry bear, baby bear Stretch your arms in the morning air The snow is gone, the sun is out The trees have now begun to sprout Flowers bloom around the lake So baby bear knows it’s time to wake Hungry bear rolls in the green grass Run and play, it is spring at last Hungry bear, it’s time to eat Gather nuts and pick a blueberry feast	Track 12 - Changing Seasons (Instrumental)
