Read in Randi Whitney's voice.
A can start inside your , A tiny , a little start. It may begin as just one thought, A wish for all the good we sought.
A can speak, a can hear, And suddenly the dream feels near. One hopeful word can travel through, Until another dreams it too.
A dream can grow from to friend, Its hopeful does not end. It moves through , , and , And lifts our hearts when we feel down.
When children listen, hope can shine, Your dream can someday join with mine. Together we can help it grow, By sharing as we go.
The future waits for what we do, For dreams need helping there too. One voice may start with words to show, But many hearts can help it grow.
