about

Some folks are inspiring in their selflessness, radiant, and happy. Hope I can learn a trick or two from them!
For Sadie and Sarah.

lyrics

Shy and gentle ways
The child in the corner
You will have your day
The prize will come to you
You’re the one
The bullies love to pick on
You’re the one we need

Feel the space you can fly in
Feel the place you can breathe
Every jail can be broken
Every lock has a key

The woman you’ve become
Everyone can trust you
You’ve come into your own
And learned to feed your soul
You’re the one
Who always thinks of others
You’re the one we need

Feel the space you can fly in
Feel the place you can breathe
Quiet strength has the power
You’re the one this world needs

In your final years
You’re generous and free
Tireless and clear
Not once about yourself
You’re the one
Who gives from start to finish
You’re the one we need

Book of life, book of giving
Glowing with an inner light
Years reveal lasting beauty
Heart is pure, eyes are bright

Every jail can be broken
Every lock has a key
Quiet strength has the power
You’re the one this world needs

Shy and gentle ways
The child in the corner
You will have your day
The prize will come to you…
