Album: So Many Ways To Be Smart
Lyrics: We believe that everyone is gifted,
and that we all learn in different ways. Although we live in a
time when testing is the priority in education, we hope that Howard
Gardner’s ideas of "multiple intelligences" will become more widely
known and accepted.
(Chorus:)
So many ways to be smart.
So many ways to be smart.
With your hands, your feet, your head, your heart -
So many ways to be smart.
Some folks are good at numbers and math.
Some folks are good at making you laugh.
Some folks are good at building a go-cart -
So many ways to be smart. Ay, ay, ay!
(Chorus)
Some folks are good at reading deep books.
Some folks are good at reading people’s looks.
Some folks are good at music and art -
So many ways to be smart. Ay, ay, ay!
(Chorus)
Some folks are good at getting along.
Some folks are good at making up songs.
Some folks are good at stopping a Wal-Mart -
So many ways to be smart. Ay, ay, ay!
(Chorus)
Some folks are good at doing their best,
Though it’s hard to measure on a standardized test.
Some folks have lots of common sense -
It’s all intelligence. Ay, ay, ay!
(Chorus)
(Chorus:)
So many ways to be smart.
