Seventeen years, how could we know? And thirteen years to make a flower grow Tears that fell from your eyes Were the ones heaven cries For the children left to walk alone There is a life no one can take There is a chain of love no one can break In all the world there is No life greater than this To lay down your life for your friends And did you feel the longing? And did you hear a sacred song? And did you sing it out to the dark? And did you follow the footsteps? Did you shine a light and did You dance with all of your heart? And did you feel the longing? And did you hear a sacred song? And did you sing it out to the dark? And did you follow the footsteps? Did you shine a light and did You dance with all of your heart? Shine like a star beloved child Upon you the angels all have smiled God takes you by the hand Dance for joy little lamb In the arms of God forever more Dance in the arms of God forever more Dance in the arms of God
