My wife wrote this song in 2004 and I love the message that it conveys
PAY IT FORWARD AS YOU GO
Dorothy Rainville
Take a dollar, from your pocket, Take another from my hand
Give it to a needy stranger, Through his smile, you'll understand.
Then take the smile, from that stranger, And the twinkle from your eye
Wrap them 'round a lonely child, With those wings, he'll learn to fly.
Chorus
When the seeds of love start growing, Pay it forward as you go
Watch the smile upon their faces, You've got a long, long way to go.
music break
Then take the wings you gave the child, Wrap them 'round an old man's heart
So he can soar up to his maker, And he'll earn a brand new start.
When the old man meets his maker, He'll tell the father what you've done
And your love will come full circle, Through the father and the son.
Chorus
When the seeds of love start growing, Pay it forward as you go
Watch the smile upon their faces, You've got a long, long way to go.
music break (2 lines)..
And your love will come full circle, Through the father and the son.
Pay it forward as you go.
2004, Dorothy Rainville
