being who you are

There are songs I hear and hold so dear,
I sing them clearly year by year.
But the song I'll sing through eternity,
is the song my teacher sings to me.

   It's a song of being who you are,
   it's the same song sung by a shining star.
   : In the heart of the rose, in the bumble bee,
   is the song my teacher sings to me :

There are songs of the sea and songs on shore,
songs of the soldier, songs of war.
But the song that sings through liberty
is the song my teacher sings to me.

   It's the howl of the wolf, it's the cat's meow,
   it's the song of the moment here and now.
   : It's a lullaby at your (my) mother's knee,
   the song my teacher sings to me :

It is wondrous love, it's amazing grace,
it's the sound that rebounds through time and space.
To my open heart it's a rhapsody,
the song my teacher sings to me.

   In the wail of the wind, in the ocean's roar,
   it's the tune on the tongue of the troubadour.
   : And I sing my love in harmony
   with the song my teacher sings to me :
