This One is for the World

Here's to you- oh lonely child
With a quick tempoed heart
And eyes big and wild
Whose mother passed
So he could have life
To the old widowed woman
And the man without a wife
To the dead born baby
Who drifted away
Crying in the wind
And the adulteress who
Was stoned to death
Because she had sinned
To the heartbroken lady
Who sold her soul for a kiss
To the grandmother in the rocking chair
Who her family won't even miss
To the innocent young girl
Who danced upon a rainbow
And to the mother deer who led her babies
Through the heavy snow
To all those hurting in love
And all those scarred in hate
And to the family who can't find the means
To have food on their plate
To the kitten in the alley
And the puppy in the pound
And the children who wish to cry out
But cannot make a sound
To all the hurting people
Wherever they may be
This one's for the entire world-
This one's for you and me.
