The world is so much happier
More pleasing and more true,
More tolerant and sunny
And that's because of you.

There's so much more
of light and love,
So much that's young and new,
So much of friendliness and song.
And this I owe to you.

The world is a less selfish place,
So much more willing too,
There's more of understanding in it.
And all because of you.

There is no life
that yours has touched
That has not richer grown,
No soul that's failed to brighten by
The righteousness you've shown.
