Thank you for this precious day,These gifts you give to me,My heart so full of love for you,Sings praise for all I see,Oh, sing, for every mothers love,For every childhood tear,Oh, sing, for all the stars above,The peace beyond all fear

Theres a man who is my brother,I just dont know his name,But I know his home and family,Because I know we feel the same,And it hurts me when hes hungry,Or when his children cry,I too am a father,That little one is mineIts about time we begin it,To turn the world around,Its about time we start to make it,The dream weve always known,Its about time we start to live it,The family of man,Its about time, Its about changes, And its about time,Its about you and me together,And its about time
