"For any school or public library in need of some fun songs and excellant wildlife photography of the Rocky Mountain Region, Come Walk With Me provides 30 minutes of pleasant children, music, and animals in their natural habitats ... Viewers will find themselves
singing along with the captivating tunes and trying to name all the
different animals that are shown ... This musical hike would be
perfect for scout and 4-H meetings, camps, at home viewing, and for school
related activities like science and nature study."

"All technical aspects of the film are excellant: the selection and sequencing of vignettes; the blending of music, dialogue and scenery; the range and quality of the sound; the range and brilliance of the color; and the editing. The film is a celebration of the wilderness and its inhabitants, and is educational in a whimsical and entertaining way ... Ecological principles and concepts are conveyed in holistic ways. I recommend this film highly for a variety of applications."

If I Were A Tree
Manfred The Mopey Moose Come Walk With Me Pika, Pika River, River, River Run Wild Things Need Wild Places Whole Earth Harmony |
|
You can see him down in the meadow, he's long and he's tall,
And the way he eats and eats and eats, well he's going to get it all!
Manfred the mopey moose, he's movin' oh so slow,
He's got a nose as big as a suitcase, you know it helps him find his dinner,
Manfred the mopey moose, he's movin' oh so slow,
|
|
Let the waters flow clean, Every river, lake, and stream.
Let 'em be, flowin' free , Golden, blue, and green.
River, river, river run.
The beaver and the otter, They splash all in your foam,
|
|
If I were a tree, I'd have lots of friends,
The wind would take me dancin' when she came 'round again, I'd have ants and owls and bears and bees, Everybody likes to live in a tree.
If I were a tree I'd grow all gnarly
|
|
There's a place that I know, where I like to go,
The rivers all run so crystal clear, And trees are growing tall, and the critters have it all, And wildbirds are all that you hear!
Come walk with me (kid's echo: Come walk with me)
|
|
You wouldn't put a grizzly bear in a rockin' chair,
You wouldn't take him to the Mall, cause he wouldn't like it there.
Because .... Wild lives need wild lands, and
Wild lives need wild lands, and
You wouldn't take a porcupine to a bowling alley,
Wild lives need wild lands, and
Wild lives need wild lands, and
|
|
Up in the rocks, where nobody goes,
Half the year, all covered with snow. You don't eat much so you get by, Snug in your den eating your alpine pie! Pika, pika, show me your face,
The first time I saw you I was up on the peak,
Pika, pika, show me your face,
I'd like to live, as you do,
|
|
Frogs in the pond, bears in the woods,
Mice in the meadow, they're feeling so good, Birds in the sky, flying so free, They're all a-singin' in harmony.
It's a song for the hills, it's a song for the trees
