Click here to listen to a rough version of this song

A playground without boundaries for every child to share
In tennis shoes or braces, or in a wheelchair
Swings without barriers, forts without stairs
I’ve never seen this kind of playground anywhere

CHORUS:
We can make this dream come true
With work and celebration
Everybody helping out
To build – Shane’s Inspiration

There’s a submarine fort and a corkscrew slide
A waist-high sandbox and a rocking-horse to ride
There are bathrooms for everyone, ice-cold water too
There’s a wheelchair bouncy-bridge, so much to do

We have made this dream come true
With work and celebration
Everybody helping out
To build – Shane’s Inspiration

Bridge:
From the Mayor to the garbage man - Everybody lent a hand
To build – Shane’s Inspiration

Play dates happen once a month, with magic shows and clowns
Face painting, food and treats, will take away your frowns
Shane’s Inspiration was built by folks who care
With love and hope there’ll soon be playgrounds everywhere

We can make these dreams come true
With work and celebration
Everybody helping out
To build – Shane’s Inspiration

Team Silcock Shawn, Alex Daniel, Jeffrey, Paul, Grant, William, Paul, Val, Ivan, George and Jim Silcock, Chris Zalameda, Dave Monson, and Dave Nachmanoff June 2, 2005

Lots of brothers, they come from far and wide
Russia and Romania, and also Oceanside
Carolina all the way to Kazakhstan
Brought together by the grace of a woman called St. Ann

Chorus:
No one’s left out, no matter what they do
Team Silcock will always find a place for you

Now that we’re together, just three simple rules
First make your mother happy, don’t be acting like a fool
Two, respect your brothers, and three, respect your pets
If you follow these three rules, your life will be all set

(Repeat Chorus)

Though you’re part of a team now, you still can be yourself
No one will expect you to act like someone else
Always someone there to lend a hand
There’s someone there to listen who you know will understand

(Repeat Chorus)
