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!
