The simple songs and easy rhymes
help us through the troubled times.
Living truths that never cease
are hearts of hope
and ways of peace.
Wonders bright and star-kissed eyes
are the searchers' secret prize.
New ways unfold while old ones guide
with warmth and wisdom
wrapped in pride.
As they meet and blend as one,
they know that they have found the sun.
