India/USA Collaboration
Challenge: 5th grade children from the Anjali Khalsa English School in Ahmedabad, India, wrote lyrics, which they challenged all other Big Picture Foundation groups to turn into songs.
“Best Things in Life”
Sleeping in the corner on the mat of faith,
Dreaming of the world where I am not afraid,
Playing on the fields, rushing down the streets,
The magic of the book, daily I perceive,
These are the best things in life…
I wanna stay here for a while,
For this is a world to hope and shine,
for these are the best things in life,
Dancing in the rain with my group of mains,
Making fun of people, passing down the lanes,
Jumping from the stairs, swinging in the chairs,
Spending hours calming down a friend,
Sharing love and likes for the favorite band,
These are the best things in life,
I wanna stay here for a while…
I am here with you for this moment, just laugh,
Forget about all wories and glories, just laugh,
These are the best things in life,
I wanna stay here for a while…
