There is a river that runs from the
mountains That one river is all rivers All rivers are that
one
There is a tree that stands in the forest That one tree is all
forests All trees are that one
There is a flower that blooms in the
desert That one blossom is all flowers All flowers are that
one
There is a bird that sings in the jungle That one song is all
music All songs are that one
It is the song of life It is the
flower of faith It is the tree of temptation It is the river of no
regret
There is a child that cries in the ghetto That one child is
all children All children are that one
There is a vision that shines
in the darkness That one vision is all of our dreams
It is a vision
of heaven It is a child of promise It is the song of life It is the
river of no regret
Let this be a voice for the mountains Let this be
a voice for the river Let this be a voice for the forest Let this be a
voice for the flowers Let this be a voice for the ocean Let this be a
voice for the desert Let this be a voice for the children Let this be a
voice for the dreamers Let this be a voice of no regret
