Dance, little children,
for the river runs deep.
You have a long road to walk upon
before you can sleep.

Sing, little children,
for the soul runs deep.
Take care of one another
in life's journey to keep.

Love, little children,
for the heart runs deep.
Let go of all your hatred
if it's truth in life you seek.

Share, little children,
for poverty runs deep.
Wipe out all the hunger;
become humble like a sheep.

Care, little children,
for kindness runs deep.
Earth could become a paradise
for the shepherd to become meek.

Reach, little children,
for kindness runs deep.
All questions are worth asking;
no mountain is too steep.

Dance, little children,
for the river runs deep.
We have a long road to walk upon
before we can sleep.
