Time to sing
When eyes see beauty,
And ears hear laughter,
When the senses awaken to the day’s fragrances,
When mouths speak only kind and guiding words.
When arms embrace,
When hands help,
When fingers no longer point,
When legs march only for peace,
When feet dance in joy,
When minds unite to create good,
And there is respect for all,
Then the heart and soul will sing with love.
