Kids Ebook Music-George Washington

Welcome to the Righteousness Museum Kids Zone

Let’s learn how to make the right choice

Long ago in a sunny land

A young leader lent a hand

George would listen and be fair

Spreading kindness everywhere

Make the right choice every day

In your work and in your play

Honesty and courage true

That’s the righteous thing to do

Make the right choice every day

In your work and in your play

Honesty and courage true

That’s the righteous thing to do

At Valley Forge when snow would fall

He stood beside them, proud and tall

With a humble heart and helping hands

He helped to build this mighty land

Make the right choice every day

In your work and in your play

Honesty and courage true

That’s the righteous thing to do

Make the right choice every day

In your work and in your play

Honesty and courage true

That’s the righteous thing to do

You can hold the candle high

Like a star up in the sky

With a shield of courage strong

We can right the biggest wrong

I can be honest

I can be brave

I can be fair

I can serve

I can do what’s right—

Even when it’s hard
