Bless The Beasts
and the Children

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice,
They have no choice.

Bless the beasts and the children,
For the world can never be
The world they see.

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them.
Give them love,
Let it shine all around them.

Bless the beasts and the children.
Give them shelter from a storm.
Keep them safe.
Keep them warm.
