An Important Notice About Your Rights To Duplicate

With the purchase of this product, you (one teacher) may legally duplicate the reproducible student pages for use with
your students, no matter how many students you have, even if you teach in more than one school. Permission to
duplicate and/or share this book or recording with anyone else is not granted and is considered a copyright
infringement. Permission is granted to duplicate the accompanying recording for back-up purposes only.
Please don’t teach your students to steal.
The people who write and publish this music depend on its sales for their livelihood. Not only is it illegal for you to
freely duplicate their work without their permission, it is also unfair and it sets a bad example for your students. We
will always fight for your rights to better pay and working conditions, and as one of the few active elementary music
publishers, we invest most of our profits in new music and resources for you. We also take care to provide real value in
our products. In return, we ask for your support of our rights. Thank you.

 Notes for
Share Your Goodwill
If your programs include songs about peace, brotherhood, kindness, and
compassion, this song will be a nice addition to your repertoire. Particularly if you
have a food drive or collect clothing and other goods, such as toys, to share in
your community, this song will make the perfect accompaniment to your efforts.
Gently tugging at our heart strings, the lyrics speak of noting our own good
fortune and remembering that there are those less fortunate. The chorus truly says
it all, “Share your goodwill. Oh, share your goodwill. Oh, keep in mind
humankind and share your goodwill.” Simple. Powerful. Effective.
We have chosen to feature a soloist (Katy Gentry) on the verse the first time
through. This is optional. If you choose to use a soloist, bring your choir in at the
pick-ups to measure 28 (the chorus). Let the ensemble sing the second verse, then
bring the soloist back in with them at the chorus again. Let her continue to sing
out front through the rest of the song, if you wish. If she has a sense of
improvisation, as our soloist did, let her sing more freely than the rest of the
group. At the coda, the style becomes a bit more gospel-like, and so the soloist
can join in as well. We suggest having her sing along with part 2 instead of part 1
for the most powerful effect. (Part 2 is optional as well.)
We don’t think your students will have any difficulty picking up the melody or
rhythms, despite the syncopations, especially if they listen to the recording.
Remind them to begin the song gently and let it build naturally to a big ending.
The rock anthem style lends itself well to this, so the song would be a good choice
for a concert closer.

A Special Offer
Maybe it seems like an old song, but we will keep singing it: It’s always a good
time to add a charitable touch to your performances. We have heard wonderful
tales of food drives and other giving activities, and we want to hear more.
If you let us know that you are using a performance to help fight hunger,
homelessness, or poverty in some way, we will give you our powerful Reproducible
Kit that includes “Ev’ryone Deserves A Home” and “Lend A Helping Hand!,” free
of charge. These two songs provide wonderful themes for such performances.
(Note: This kit is free of charge when you order some other product. If you order it by
itself, we will still provide it free, but ask that you pay shipping and handling. This offer
is only available directly from us.)
Let’s help teach our children that they can make a difference in the world they
have inherited.
