about

This song was written for a Chrysalis Steiner School winter festival in appreciation for everyone who contributes to creating harmonious family and community life.

lyrics

The poet, the painter , the candlestick maker,
they all give us gifts for our house.
They lighten the burden of loneliness
And brighten the sun within.
CHORUS So breathe it and feel it and take it with glee,
The real gifts of this world are given for free-
And when the time comes to repay the deed,
Contribute to the light - Give tribute to the light -
With joy let your work met the need.

The surveyor the builder the forester the farmer ,
they all give us gifts we enjoy,
They change the land on which we stand,
They give us the light from their hands.
The miller ,the baker ,the nurse and the potter ,
They all provide strength when we need,
They change the land on which we stand,
They give us the light from their hands.
BRIDGE - Imagine the world were no-one could make ,
All of the beautiful things that we have,
Oh someone must save , Oh someone must brave it -
So learn your lessons, learn your lessons well.
Your mother ,your father , your sister , your brother
Have worked hard to carry you through,
The fact they are there and friends in despair,
Gives you the help for repair.
