Part of the version I have (with gestures) follows. Anyone know what "Cha, Cha, Cha, Cha!" is in the chorus?

We Come From the Mountains

(actions in brackets)

We come from the mountains (make a peak with your hands)
We come from the mountains (make a peak with your hands)
Go back to the mountains (take your thumbs, and point backwards,
then make peak)
And turn the world around (roll your hands in a circle)

Chorus:

Weeeee come (cha cha cha cha!)
From the mountains (make a peak with hands)
Go back to the mountains (same hand motions, as in previous
verse)
And turn the world around. (same hand motion)

Welllllll, I never did the cha cha cha part, but the rest is familiar. The song actually starts with verse 1: "We come from the water" and has a horizontal wavy motion with one hand.
Then:
2. Mtns (as posted above)
3. Fire (wavy fingers moving up)
4. Sky (Arms stretched up high, arcing down to sides)

Last verse:
We come from the water, we come from the mountains
Go back to the fire, turn the world around.
We come from the sky, go back to the sky, turn the world around.
(repeat last line)

In the last verse, each element gets its own motion again!

As a grand finale you can also sing the chorus and first verse together - they fit together well!

Never heard of the cha cha cha bit
