Sing for the promise in each new morning.
Sing for the hope in a new day dawning.
All around is beauty bright!
Wake in the morning and sing, my child.
Dance in the joy of the day unfolding.
Dance as you work and dance as you’re learning.
All around is beauty bright!
Take in the day and dance, my child.
But when troubles come and worry is all that can be found,
Gather your strength and hear your voice.
Sing, my child.
Laugh in the cool and the fresh of the evening.
Laugh in your triumph, laugh in succeeding.
All around is beauty bright!
Rest in the evening and laugh, my child.
Peace in the stillness and dark of the night.
Peace in the dreams of your silent delights.
All around is beauty bright!
Sleep in the night and peace, my child.
