Teaching Kids to See Things through Other People's Eyes: Song

We Could Understand

Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Bobby Susser

    1. The child/children may join in the chorus.
    2. If the setting is appropriate and safe, the child/children may dance to the song.
    3. The parent/teacher may ask the child/children how he/she/they can get to know others more so that they may live
better together.
    4. The child/children may draw pictures, verbally describe, and/or write ways people can understand one another more than they do. The parent/teacher may assist the child/children where it is necessary.

If I could be you for one day
If I could see with your eyes
If you could be me for one day
If you could see with my eyes

We could understand
We could understand
Together we could see most everything
We could understand
We could understand
Together we could see most everything

If I could be you for one day
If I could hear with your ears
If you could be me for one day
If you could hear with my ears

We could understand
We could understand
Together we could hear most everything
We could understand
We could understand
Together we could hear most everything

If I could be you for one day
If I could know what you know
If you could be me for one day
If you could know what I know

We could understand
We could understand
Together we could learn so many things
We could understand
We could understand
Together we could learn so many things
