1. Be in our eyes that we may see
Your faces on the street.
To see you wand’ring in the alleyways.
Chorus:
Send us fresh into the world. Be in our eyes.
Send us fresh into the world. Be in our eyes.
2. Be in our legs to perservere
The portages to peace.
To leave the treadmill of the status quo. (Ch: with “legs”)
3. Be in our lungs to shout our joy
Full-throated ev’ry day.
To shun the slouching davenport of gloom. (Ch: with “lungs”)
4. Be in our ears to hear your merry
Humming as you cook.
And then to hear the dinner bell of now.(Ch: with “ears”)
5. Be in our minds, to wrestle with
The issues of our time
In quest of insight for the common good. (Ch: with “minds”)
6. Be in our hands to stack the deck
& Deal aces to the poor.
To freely give as we so freely gain. (Ch: with “hands”)
