SA Chorus and Piano
Recommended for: Middle School and Older
Optional Instrumentation: Cello, piano, electric bass, acoustic guitar, shaker, triangle, bell tree, drum set
Pinwheels is about the joy of young people spinning and turning. The words in this song evoke a happy time when we just spin and spin and spin, almost like the swirling sounds and visual images we experience when going round and round on a carousel. The music spins and stops like a pinwheel whirling through the air.
Pinwheels should feel like a rocking 4/4. Take time with the piano interludes and play with the tempo until you find the right feeling of the spin. The piece can be performed with just piano if the other instruments are not available.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Picture yourself, your dreams, like horses on a carousel.
A colorful world is spinning and turning around you.
How would you like to ride around and round, hands in the air?
A colorful world is spinning and turning around you.
Refrain
Pinwheels spin
The clouds I’m in,
Painting all the magic in my life.
Barefoot in the sand,
Rainbow kites in my hand,
Painting all the magic in my life.
Verse 2
Walking around you see the children laughing out loud.
A colorful world is spinning and turning around you.
Join them and sing your song, hey listen and whistle along.
A colorful world is spinning and turning around you.
(Refrain)

Paint my world.
