You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You got troubles, and I got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

 2. Colors of the Wind
Highlight the lyrics that help you determine the theme

You think you own whatever land you land on

The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people

Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew

Which theme is the best answer?

a. Don’t take the Earth for granted; be kind to nature.
b. Talk to strangers.
c. Creatures have names.
d. Nature
e. Be confident in yourself
 3. Let it Go
Highlight the lyrics that help you determine the theme

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
…
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free

 4. I’ve Got a Dream
Highlight the lyrics that help you determine the theme
He's got a dream
He's got a dream
See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem
Though I do like breaking femurs
You can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else
I've got a dream
...
She's got a dream (he's got a dream)
They've got a dream, we've got a dream
So our differences ain't really that extreme
We're one big team
Call us brutal, sick, sadistic
And grotesquely optimistic
'Cause way down deep inside
We've got a dream
