The Ones Ahead - Beverly Glenn-Copeland
Lyrics by:Beverly Glenn-Copeland

In the dark night turning
Beneath the star fields burning
I see the ones I see the ones ahead
Circling on the reader
Round the teacher the giver
I see their hearts and all the fear they've shared
They beckon me
Come love can redeem
Life is an art
You have a part that's yours to play
Come show us your dreams
Life needs your hand to do what you can
In your own way
This world is our combined imagination
Your life a precious personal creation
What have you learned
What lessons earned they say
Each of us to others is connected
If one of us is lost we're all affected
How will you live
What will you give today
They beckon me
Come love can redeem
Roll on river life is an art
Roll on
You have a part that's yours to play
Come show us your dreams
Life needs your hand roll on
To do what you can roll on
In your own way roll on
I'm casting my life on you river
Roll on roll on
As it tumbles along to the sea
Roll on
On the ribbon of stars to the giver
Roll on roll on
It's all of you
It's all of me
This world is our combined imagination
Your life a precious personal creation
What have you learned
What lessons earned they say
Each of us to others is connected
If one of us is lost we're all affected
How will you live
What will you give today
They beckon me
Come love can redeem
Roll on life is an art
Roll on
You have a part that's yours to play
Come roll on show us your dreams
Roll on
Life needs your hand
Roll on to do what you can
Roll on
In your own way roll on
I'm casting my life on you river
Roll on
As it tumbles along to the sea
Roll on roll on
On the ribbon of stars to the giver
Roll on roll on
It's all of you
It's all of me
Come love can redeem
Life is an art
You have a part that's yours to play
Come show us your dreams
Life needs your hand to do what you can
In your own way
