lyrics

VERSE 1
What makes the green grow?
What turns the seasons?
What is the reason
The world goes ‘round?
What is the mystery
So deep inside us
Turning silence into sound?

CHORUS
I have a vision
Of all the children
Finding their mission
In the Great Design
All of us building
So they’ll be living
A circle of giving in their time

VERSE 2
What turns our eyes away
From our own neighbor
When from their labor, they
Find no reward?
What does our heart say
When they cry mercy
When they beg shelter from the storm?

CHORUS

VERSE 3
To all beside us
And all behind us
May you remind us
From where we’ve come
And those not yet with us
Oh won’t you give us
A prayer of peace, a song of freedom on our tongues

CHORUS
