Child be a song

Verse 1:

Child be a song that’s true Child be a song that’s sweet

Sing for soon your gentle tune may guide a pair of drifting feet.

Sing your song though the road be long
Oh child be a song that’s true.

And when the winter comes, then though your leaves may fall;
Oh stand bold through the wind and cold,
Oh child be a tree that’s tall.

Child be a light that shines in the night and leads a traveller through
the storm
And though the night be dark And, though the storm rage long;
Child be a light that’s , child be a light, child be a light -----
Child be a light that’s strong.
