A Musical Journey
Words and music by Glyn Lehmann

Introduction
Everywhere around the world
There are people making music
Their instruments, their voices
Are raised in waves of sound

Take a journey with us now
To places far and wide
Let music carry us away
And be our guide

(All sing) Be our guide

Drone, drone, deep, deep drone
Didgeridoo has a deep, deep drone
Down here in Australia
Didgeridoo has a deep, deep drone

All: Be our guide

2. India
Join us now in India
Where rhythm is everywhere
Listen to the rhythm it will
Take you there, take you there

TA KA DI MI, TA KA DI MI
TA KI TA, TA KI TA
TA KA DI MI, TA KA DI MI
TA KI TA, TA KI TA

All: Be our guide

Play a lively melody in Ireland

Dee, dee, dee, dee etc…

All: Be our guide

Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo

Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo

All: Be our guide
