How very special are we

For just a moment to be

Part of life’s eternal rhyme

How very special are we

To have on our family tree

Mother Earth and Father Time

He turns the seasons around

And so she changes her gown

But they always look in their prime

They go on dancing their dance

Of every lasting romance

Mother Earth and Father Time

The summer larks return to sing

Oh what a gift they give

Then autumn days grow short and cold

Oh what a joy to live

How very special are we

For just a moment to be

Part of life’s eternal rhyme

How very special are we

To have on our family tree

Mother Earth and Father Time
