Bells are ringing all over the world
Though it may seem dark and cold,
we can feel strength in our own actions
and take note -
Bells are ringing; bells are ringing in the night,
all over the world tonight -
calling out the light.
We are not alone.
Let us all ignite our spark to
Laugh,
Dream,
Try,
and Do Good
here at home in our beloved community.
Let's shovel a walk for a neighbor,
invite someone over for coffee
sing a song for someone
write a letter
babysit for parents
hold a door
hug all dear friends
even those not so dear-
be creative and brave showing no fear
only cheer.
Take time to be kind
don’t forget to kiss the cooks
for all their labor!
When we give, we receive
for all their labor!
When we give, we receive
when we act like the way we wish to see the world
the world begins to look like we wish to see it.
Let's add to the chorus
bells are ringing throughout the world
let Jericho’s bells chime in as well
calling out the light!
No matter how dark and cold it is outside, I can always rely on chickadees to welcome me with their inquisitiveness, and friendly chatter.
Nature is full of uplifting wonders,
we only need to stop, look, and listen.
