Talk about a Song: Life Philosophy from Mary Poppins

In January 2014 I want to do an exercise with students called "Talk about a Song"

1.  Find the lyrics
2.  Analyze the words
3.  Who is singing?  Who is listening?  
4. Does something happen from the start to the end of the song?
5.  What message do you take from this song?   Why did you choose to analyze this song.


I did a search for 
life philosophy with mary poppins   a man has dreams of walking with giants lyrics

Here are the lyrics I want to analyze
