Love Grows One by One
By Carol Johnson
Love grows one by one, two by two and four by
Four. Love grows ‘round like a circle and come back
Knock’in at your front door.
Note by note we make a song. Voice by voice we sing it.
Choir by choir we fill up the world with that music we bring it.
One by one we’ll reach round the world to our sisters and brothers.
So let me take your hand, my friend. We’ll each take the hand of another.
Choir by choir we fill up the world with the music that we bring it.
One by one we’ll reach ‘round the world to our sisters and brothers.
This song encourages children to express their positive feelings for others, as well as to enjoy positive feelings from friends and families. Children might discuss the composer’s meaning in writ “Love grows round like a…. Knocking at your door. (Children’s Songs for a Friendly Planet by Evelyn Weiss, Priscilla Prutzman, Nancy Silber)
