Chorus:
Somos el barco, somos el mar,
Yo navego en ti, tu navegas en mi
We are the boat, we are the sea, I sail in you, you sail in me

The stream sings it to the river, the river sings it to the sea
The sea sings it to the boat that carries you and me

Chorus

The boat we are sailing in was built by many hands
The sea we are sailing on, it touches every land

So with our hopes we set the sails and face the winds once more
And with our hearts we chart the waters never sailed before

Chorus

Meredith Hillier, age 9 and her Aunt Marva

Words and music by Jim Croce (1943-1973). Arrangement adapted from Flower Power for Ukulele (Hal Leonard)

Modified for ukulele from a solo piano arrangement by Carol Tornquist.

From a small town of less than 20,000—Newton, Kansas—a hotbed of humble-walking, but fierce peace-lovers since 1874, we sing you our aspirations for national unity and healing and affirm our trust that peace will prevail. This 1970 Beatles song is reinterpreted by three members of the Newton Ukulele Tunes Society (NUTS)—Jensen Lee on bass ukulele, Kristin Neufeld Epp on baritone ukulele and vocals, Marva Weigelt on concert ukulele and vocals. Recorded in "the living room" at Insight peer support.

Adapted for ukulele from Carol Tornquist's arrangement for piano of this traditional French melody. Three ukulele parts all played by Marva.

1914 composition by Ernest Ball and J. Keirn Brennan. I'm channeling the Somerville side of the family.
