There is much
in the world for us to be grateful for
The Universe
has made it all
As our song
now takes up sight and sounds of the earth
All voices
shall be one
For the sound
of the rain
For the fierce
rushing waves
For water
quiet and cool
We are blessed
and thankful
In each
droplet we see all your love and energy
For the warmth
of a fire
For a blaze
through the sky
For orange and
yellow sparks
We are blessed
and thankful
In each
flicker we see all your love and energy
For the green
of the earth
For the rich,
leafy trees
For air that’s
fresh and clean
We are blessed
and thankful
Through each
breath we feel all your love and energy
