Spiritual Parenting

A song summarizing episode 42 of the Society Builder's podcast exploring a "Spiritual Parenting" curriculum developed by Faegheh Evans. The lyrics were written by Dr. Duane Varan but the vocals, instruments and musical composition were facilitated using AI. The music is designed with a world fusion motif - with instruments from around the world including a didgeridoo laying the foundation for instrumentation (highlighting the Australian origins of the curriculum), steel drums (to create a celebratory calypso feel in parts), the sitar (for mystical accents), a South American deep forrest flute and a saxophone - bringing five continents together. Lyrics to the song 'Spiritual Parenting': One word can shatter a heart Another inspire a dream Because our words really matter No matter how it might seem When we acknowledge their virtues And help make our kids aware Of the qualities they aspire to And the character they share [chorus] Spiritual parenting is the song we sing Cultivating virtues, character and agency In the language we use And the example we produce We raise our kids to be the captains of their destiny [musical interlude] [verse] As parents we wear different hats Donning the right hat for each occasion As educator, counselor, guide or authority It’s a journey of discovery Of exploring life’s mysteries Of cultivating our true spirituality [chorus] Spiritual parenting is the song we sing Cultivating virtues, character and agency In the language we use And the example we produce We raise our kids to be the captains of their destiny Spiritual parenting Is the song that we sing Cultivating virtues, character and agency In the language we use And the example we produce We raise our kids to be the captains of their destiny
