Every day the world begins again
Sunny skies or rain
Come and follow me

Every sunrise shows me more and more
So much to explore
Come and follow me

Every morning, every day
Every evening, calling me away

While the sun goes 'round
I'll still be found
Following the sound
Something's calling me

When the world goes drifting back to bed
Memories in my head
Wonders follow me

Every morning, every day
Every evening, calling me away
Every morning, every day
Every evening, calling me away

Every morning, every day
Every evening, calling me away

While the sun goes round
I'll still be found
Following the sound
Something's calling me

When the world goes drifting back to bed
Memories fill my head
Wonders follow me

5. I've Seen Troubles (Pain and Woe) [02:22]

Performed by: The Trash Heap, Philo and Gunge

When I was just a little bitty trash heap,
Mama told me, Child, there's something you should know (you should know):
Everybody's got to have a special dream that they can dream.

That means troubles, that means pain, that means woe, woe, woe,
That means troubles, that means pain, that means woe, woe, woe.

Now I've lived some and I've learned some,
But my mama told me all I need to know (need to know):
Everybody that I meet just seems to make my life complete,

Bring me troubles, bring me pain, they bring me woe, woe, woe,
They bring me troubles, bring me pain, they bring me woe, woe, woe.

First they lay down their heavy burden (heavy burden),
Then I show them what to do and where to go (where to go).
Well I'm a lucky, lucky girl,
I'm like a swine before a pearl,

I see troubles, I see pain, I see woe, woe, woe.
I see troubles, I see pain, I see woe, woe, woe.
Oh, gimme your troubles,
Give me your pa-a-in,
Give me your wo-o-oe, woe, woe, woe, woe, woe ...

Hip hip hooray!
We're going to dance and sing all day.
We beat them all, we can stand up tall and now it's time to play.

Hip hip hip hip hooroo!

We beat the foe, we laid them low so on to something new.

Hip hip hip hip hooree!
Let's shout for you and me.
We beat the beast, so we'll have a feast and now it's time for tea.

Hip hip hip hip hooray!
We're gonna dance and sing all day.
We beat them all, we can stand up tall and now its time to play.

And now it's time to play.
Hip hip hip hip hooray!
