Ops

I just came across the program from Cody's graduation and I have the wrong lyrics for the song that the teachers sing. I put in earlier the old 70's version from Carole King or somebody like her ... her are the correct words, by Bill Staines:

Child of mine, you are the wildest wind
And the dearest dream I will ever know.
Love's lasting light shines out from deep
Within this father's heart as I watch you grow.

Child of mine you are the break of dawn
And the brightest star I will ever know.
Love's lasting light comes shining on and on
From this mother's heart as I watch you grow.

There is a road, and that road is all your own.
But we are here, you need not walk alone
To face, not fear, each coming new unkown
Is the way to lift your wings.

Child of mine, you are the sweetest song
And the greatest gift I will ever know.

Child of mine, where spirits fly above
There is but one that belongs to you
So let it grow, and it will thrive on love
For it is love that sees us through.

You have the hands that will open up the doors,
You have the hopes this world is waiting for,
You are my own, but you are so much more
You are tomorrow on the wing,
Child of mine.

So much sweeter than the version I put in earlier.
