Beauty

Once a little girl, for us to keep safe
And this one means the world, from the cradle to the grave
We all watched you grow, cherished every minute
Soared the highs, crawled the lows, poured our heart and souls in it
Be it football boots, be it dancing shoes
Through songs of joy, through bouts of blues
You found your way, you walked your walk
You had your say, you talked your talk, oh-oh-oh

Hopeful like a budding flower, full of this creative power
And the beauty, yeah the beauty
Of a soul with a singing spirit, with the vibe of the good Lord in it
This is beauty, yeah it's beauty

Now you're all grown, as sharp as a tack
And our minds are just blown by all for which you have a knack
And by who you are, the sum more than its parts
So this pride and joy daily fills our hearts
Every little step and the missteps, too
Have brought you here, well tried and true
Today you confirm, radiant and bold
Your faith in God, with a heart of gold

Hopeful like a budding flower, full of this creative power
And the beauty, yeah the beauty
Of a soul with a singing spirit, with the vibe of the good Lord in it
This is beauty, yeah it's beauty

Now as we strive in our lives to add fame to God's name
You have to grow your roots down, you have to put your foot down
Knowing who you are, not a failure not a star, but a jar
Wonderfully made by a creator whose love is so great that
You have found safe ground to spread your wings and fly
Soar high in the sky, be gentle but sly
Do good to your neighbour, seek the kingdom first
The rest is given to you, and God will see your through

Hopeful like a budding flower, full of this creative power
And the beauty, yeah the beauty
Of a soul with a singing spirit, with the vibe of the good Lord in it
This is beauty, yeah it's beauty

Hopeful like a budding flower
And the beauty, yeah the beauty
Of a soul with a singing spirit
This is beauty, yeah it's beauty
