Observing & Questioning

Here is a very good song about
fathers’ and mothers’ nature to always
protect their children. Their home
is always open for their children to
return for their protection.
Let’s read the lyric together. First,
listen to me carefully. Then, repeat
after me. Say every line loudly, clearly,

and correctly.

93 Million Miles
Jason Mraz
93 million miles from the Sun,
people get ready get ready,
‘cause here it comes it’s a light, a beautiful light,
over the horizon into our eyes
Oh, my my how beautiful, oh my beautiful mother
She told me, “Son in life you’re gonna go far, and if you do it right you’ll
love where you are
Just know, that wherever you go, you can always come home”
240 thousand miles from the Moon, we’ve come a long way to belong
here,
To share this view of the night, a glorious night,

Observing & Questioning

over the horizon is another bright sky
Oh, my my how beautiful, oh my irrefutable father,
He told me, “Son sometimes it may seem dark, but the absence of the light
is a necessary part.
Just know, you’re never alone, you can always come back home”
Ohh…ohh…ohh… 2x
You can always come back…back…
Every road is a slippery slope
There is always a hand that you can hold on to.
Looking deeper through the telescope
You can see that your home’s inside of you.
Just know, that wherever you go,
no you’re never alone,
you will always get back home
Ohh…ohh…ohh… 5 x
93 million miles from the Sun,

people get ready get ready,
‘cause here it comes it’s a light, a beautiful light, over the horizon into our
eyes…
