CHORUS:
(Concepts from the Mission Statement of the William D. Lynch Foundation for Children)
Oh, every child saved becomes a positive force in the world;
every child lost becomes a loss affecting future generations.
Yes, every child saved becomes a positive force in the world;
every child lost affects us all;
But every child saved becomes a positive force in the world;
(“ACROSS THE LAKE,” a poem by William D. Lynch:)
Suddenly you hear perfect music within your mind
and vividly recall a quiet, deep blue, majestic, mountain lake.
A lifetime of accumulating power coalesces for a moment
in a sudden burst of energy just behind your eyes
which have just locked onto your grandson’s eyes
lit by love and security, without pain or fear.
And, finally, you are transformed,
overcome by what you have always known;
that freedom is indivisible, and you must act.
For at last, you hear across the lake, above the music,
the hopeless cry of a child in bondage
whom you can, you will, you must at any cost now save...
CHORUS: (Mission Statement Concepts)
...because every child saved becomes a positive force in the world;
every child lost becomes a loss affecting future generations.
Yes, every child saved becomes a positive force in the world;
every child lost affects us all
So let’s harness the power of hope and love,
knowing that every child saved is a universe preserved.
