Intergenerational Experience song lyrics:

It’s the intergenerational experience
Where young and old are one.
It’s the intergenerational experience
That makes life much more fun.

Special times together, warm and tender moments
That’s what this is all about.
Little ones and seniors, loving, giving, sharing,
Join with me and shout!

It’s the intergenerational experience
Where young and old are one.
It’s the intergenerational experience
That makes life much more fun.

An elder in a wheelchair feeling really lonely,
Yet she has so much to share.
In comes a little person seeking a companion.
They truly make a wonderful pair.

It’s the intergenerational experience
Where young and old are one.
It’s the intergenerational experience
That makes life much more fun.

Singing songs together, painting lovely pictures,
Sitting down to have a meal.
Telling funny stories, laughing out together,
What a wonderful way to feel!

It’s the intergenerational experience
Where young and old are one.
It’s the intergenerational experience
That makes life much more fun.
That makes life much more fun.
