How very special are we   For just a moment to be   Part of life’s eternal rhyme   How very special are we   To have on our family tree   Mother Earth and Father Time      He turns the seasons around   And so she changes her gown   But they always look in their prime   They go on dancing their dance   Of every lasting romance   Mother Earth and Father Time      The summer larks return to sing   Oh what a gift they give   Then autumn days grow short and cold   Oh what a joy to live      How very special are we   For just a moment to be   Part of life’s eternal rhyme   How very special are we   To have on our family tree   Mother Earth and Father Time
