Every Child

Every Child

© 1995 Homeland Publishing

Every child, every child, is a child of the universe

Here to sing, here to sing, a song of beauty and grace

Here to love, here to love, like a flower out in bloom

Every girl and boy a blessing and a joy

Every child, every child, of man and woman-born

Fed with love, fed with love, in the milk that's mother's own

A healthy child, healthy child, as the dance of life unfolds

Every child in the family, safe and warm

bridge:

Dreams of children free to fly

Free of hunger, and war

Clean flowing water and air to share

With dolphins and elephants and whales all around

Every child, every child, dreams of peace in this world

Wants a home, wants a home, and a gentle hand to hold

To provide, to provide, room to grow and to belong

In the loving village of human kindness
