For each child that's born

Love this picture and song found today in Walk in Beauty facebook newsfeed. 

For each child that's born
a morning star rises and sings
to the universe who we are

For each child that's born 
a morning star rises and sings
to the universe who we are

For each child that's born
a morning star rises and sings
to the universe who we are

We are our grandmothers prayers
we are our grandfathers dreamings
we are the breath of the ancestors
we are the spirit of God

We are Mothers of courage
fathers of time
Daughters of dust
sons of great visions
we are sisters of mercy
brothers of love
lovers of life and the builders of nations

We're seekers of truth
and keepers of faith
makers of peace, wisdom of ages

We are our grandmothers prayers
and we are our grandfaters dreamings
we are the breath of the ancesters
we are the spirit of God

We are mothers of courage
fathers of time
we are daughters of dust
and sons of great vision
we are sisters of mercy
brothers of love
we're lovers of life and the builders of nations
we're seekers of truth and keepers of faith
makers of peace and the wisdom of ages

We are our grandmothers prayers
and we are our grandfathers dreamings
we are the breath of our ancestors we are the spirit of God

For each child that's born
a morning star rises and sings
to the universe who we are

We are one
