Look Inside

When you’re searching for help

Look inside

You are your own savior

You’re certain to find;

Honesty is at your core

Kindness in your heart

Loving arms will hold you up

And help you make a start;

So take hold of your life

Find help as you reach

Pray to gain strength

As you strive o find peace;

Be your own parent

Be your best friend

Learn from your spirit

Don’t let your will end;

Look deeply inward

And search for insight

See beauty in darkness

Find positive light.

For Children

[Lyrics for TUSK’s Song]

Tusk

In the jungle

The mighty Tusk

Didn’t know what to do

His friends, they teased him

He felt the loss

So his mom helped him

learn the truth

She said

Never mind what

your friends might think

You have so much to share

So wipe your tears now

And show a smile

I will always love you

I will always love you

I will always love you

Tusk, Tusk

from morning till dusk

Thought about what his

mom said

He finally felt okay with it

Because he knew

it was in his head

In the jungle

The mighty Tusk

Watched his friends

make a boo-boo

He saw the jungle

begin to burn

So this is what he had to do

He filled his trunk

at the water’s edge

And sprayed

with all of his might

His friends, they watched

as the fire went out

They cheered

We will always love you

We will always love you

We will always love you

Tusk, Tusk

From morning to dusk

Thought about all of the glee

He said to himself

as he went to bed

Everybody loves me

Everybody loves me

Everybody loves me

Everybody loves me
