[General] Introduction to a song...

[paochai01]

Our parish priest is leaving soon and as a tribute, and to get the kids and adults in the community involved, we're doing the Body Song (lyrics below). However, I can't come up with an introduction for the song. Can someone help me connect it? To make sense as to why we're doing this item in relation to Father/priest/church/community/etc.? Thank you.

(daughters)
I am the eye, I go blink-blink
Yes, I am the eye and I can wink
I am the eye but I can’t think
That belongs to my friend the brain

(sons)
I fritter-fratter-frit, fritter-fratter-frit
I’m the brain with electric current patter pit
I’m the brain, I can think and learn it bit by bit
yes, I fritter-fratter-fritter all the time

(dads)
I go lub-dub, lub-dub I go
I am the heart I pump like so
I’m bringing life to all the parts
I am consistent, I’m the heart

(moms)
I’m swinging, I’m swinging
Swinging on life’s merry way
I’m the arm, I’m the arm
I’m bringing grace to all

(little kids)
Hearing…Hearing
Small ears.. hearing
We don’t.. miss much
Hearing all the time

(everyone)
We are the body of Christ, we are the body of Christ
Together bringing His love to the world
We are the body of Christ, we are the body of Christ
Together bringing His love to the world

We work together! We work together! We do it with cooperation
We work together! We work together! We do it with cooperation!
Amen

Why not sing "Faith of Our Fathers" and then not worry about why you have to explain it?

Or any other adult hymn. Then you don't have to explain why your choice of songs is similar to a nursery rhyme.

This is my opinion. No offense meant to any other faiths or to the people who run this website.
