I have heard the wild bird's sing

so I know what "freedom" is

I have looked into the eyes of a child

so I know what "faith" is

I have seen a rainbow

so I know what "beauty" is

I have planted a tree

so I know what "hope" is

I have held a helping hand

so I know what "kindness" is

I have seen a blossom burst into bloom

so I know what "glory" is

I have lost a friend

so I know what "sorrow" is

I have knelt down in prayer

so I know what "peace" is

I have seen a mother at her crib

so I'm sure of the meaning of "love"

I have seen and I have felt these things

and now I know what "God" is!
