In the heart of the world you will hear a song,
A melody where we all belong.
Through laughter and tears, dark and bright,
We carry each other into the light.
When loneliness whispers soft and low,
May gratitude shimmer and gently grow.
And when someone stumbles, weary or worn,
May your open kindness keep them warm.
When the world feels heavy and storms roll in,
May courage rise softly from deep within.
For hand upon hand and side by side,
We walk this journey, we share this stride.
Bless the helper, humble and true,
Bless the heart that knows what to do.
A bag carried lightly, a story read slow —
Small gifts of love that spread and grow.
Sing your spirit, steady and bright,
Let your joy ripple far in the night.
For every small kindness, every soft word,
Becomes a song to be joyfully heard.
Shine your light, let it ring, let it soar —
A gentle tune forevermore.
You are invited to a free concert by Sounds Good Choir this Saturday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m., Pilgrim Congregational Church, 460 Lake St., Oak Park.
