Thru devotion
Blessed are the children
Yeah
Praise the teacher (Praise the teachers, yeah)
That brings true love to many

Your devotion (Your devotion)
Opens (Opens all life's treasures)

And deliverance
From the fruits of evil
So, so our mission, hey (So our mission)
To bring a melody (Bring a melody, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ringin' voices
Sing sweet harmony
[Verse 5]
For you here's a song
To make your day brighter, oh
One that will last
You long thru troubled days (You long thru troubled days)
[Verse 6]
Giving your heart
Ooh, the light to brighten
Yeah, woo-ooh, all of the dark (All of the dark)
That falls in your way (That falls in your way)
Make a better way, yeah

Everyone's life
There's a need to be happy, oh yeah
Let the sun shine
A smile your way, yeah

Your day, ooh, to make a better way, yeah

Bless the children (Ooh)
Deliverance
From the fruits of evil
