HEATHER'S SONG

THIS IS A SPECIAL LOVE SONG
FOR ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE WORLD,
HERE'S HOPING SOMEONE KIND
WATCHES OVER EACH AND EVERY ONE,
BECAUSE IN EVERY YOUNG FACE,
NO MATTER HOW ANGRY OR SAD,
LIES THE BLOSSOM OF A PURE HEART,
NOT EVIL WRONG OR BAD.

SO IF YOU HAVE A YOUNG CHILD,
BE GENTLE WISE AND KIND,
AND TREAT THEM LIKE AN ORCHID,
SO RARE AND HARD TO FIND,
YOUR LOVE WILL BE LIKE WATER
TO ALL THE SEEDS YOU SOW.
FOR THEY ARE THE FAIREST FLOWERS
IN LIFE¹S GARDEN WHERE THEY GROW.

AND IF YOU KNOW THE OLD FOLKS,
BE GENTLE WISE AND KIND,
THEIR SOULS WILL SOON DEPART US,
AND LEAVE THIS WORLD BEHIND,
THEY'VE GIVEN US THE FUTURE,
THEY TAUGHT US WHAT THEY KNOW,
TO SOON BECOME A PART OF
GOD'S KINGDOM WHERE THEY GO.

THIS IS A SPECIAL LOVE SONG
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
