Sister Sky (Tune: "Aiken Drum")
There was a girl lived in the sky, lived in the sky, lived in the sky,
There was a girl lived in the sky, and her name was Sister Sky.
And her hair was made of rainbows, of rainbows, of rainbows.
And her hair was made of rainbows, and her name was Sister Sky.
And her head was a giant moon, a giant moon, a giant moon.
And her head was a giant moon, and her name was Sister Sky.
A constellation made her face, it made her face, it made her face,
A constellation made her face, and her name was Sister Sky.
And her tummy was a cumulus cloud, a cumulus cloud, a cumulus cloud...
And her arms were made of thunderclouds...
And her hands were made of shooting stars...
And her legs were made of lightning bolts...
A planet was her belly button... and her name was Sister Sky.
