The song "Make New Friends" was originally sung as just the 1st verse in a round.
Make New Friends
Children's Song
Make new friends,
But keep the old.
One is silver,
The other is gold.
A circle is round,
It has no end.
That's how long,
I will be your friend.
A fire burns bright,
It warms the heart.
We've been friends,
From the very start.
You have one hand,
I have the other.
Put them together,
We have each other.
Silver is precious,
Gold is too.
I am precious,
And so are you.
You help me,
And I'll help you
And together
We will see it through.
The sky is blue
The Earth is green
I can help
To keep it clean.
Across the land
Across the sea
Friends forever
We will always be.
Notes
Younger kids often sing just the first verse or two of this song.
