Nothing's quite as beautiful as the laughter of a child,
Or the wonder inside every little smile,
Maybe love and hope and tenderness or laughter soon will leave, 
Children want a world to grow where they feel free.

Teach the children, light the way,
Help them make a better day,
Show them how to help each other when they fall,
Learning how to get along,
To show love, yet be strong, 
Help the children light the way for us all.

Teach the children, light the way,
They deserve a better day,
Show them how to help each other when they fall,
Learning how to get along,
To show love, yet be strong, 
Help the children light the way for us all.

Let the children light the way for us all.
