Chorus 1:
Balance is important [Hold arms out long like a balance scale and teeter, totter a bit]
For me and you and you [Point to self and then point left and right]
Balance helps us stand up straight [Bend knees and then stand up straight]
And keeps us in our shoes [Point to feet]
Chorus 2:
Balance is important [Hold arms out long like a balance scale and teeter, totter a bit]
For me and you and you [Point to self and then point left and right]
Your Heart, your Head, your Arms and your Legs [Point to each body part]
Need that balance, too [Hold arms out long like a balance scale and teeter, totter a bit]
