I'm your life I'm your tomorrow
Show me the way
Help me to grow

I'm like clay in your hands
Be careful in how you shape me
Please be patient and kind
I'll make you proud
You'll see



I'm a promise that life will go on
I'm a dream of things to come
I'm your hope for a better future
I'm an extension of where you're from

I may be a promise
for solving world hunger
Or a cure for a deadly disease
But whatever my future holds
Don't take my promise away...
please

You want a better life for me
Then you know what you must do
Show me the way with gentle guidance
And when I grow up
Perhaps I can make a better life for you



Train them from infancy
in the way they should go
Each child is a promise
we must carefully mold
And someday they will be
a beautiful promise fulfilled to behold
