Songtexte The Promise of Living from The Tender Land - John Williams feat. Tanglewood Festival Chorus & Boston Pops Orchestra

The promise of living With hope and thanksgiving
Is born of our loving Our friends and our labor
The promise of growing With faith and with knowing
Is born of our sharing Our love with our neighbor
The promise of living The promise of growing Is
Born of our singing In joy and thanksgiving
For many a year we've known these fields
And know the work that makes them yield
Are you ready to lend a hand?
By working together we'll bring in
The harvest, The blessings of harvest
Give thanks e'very morning that seeds are grained
And providence sends us the sun and each growing seed
Bring out from the farm, bring out from
The farm, The blessings of harvest
Give thanks there was sunshine, give thanks there was rain
Give thanks we have food to eat, live, and are brave
Oh let us give joy, oh let us be grateful
To the Lord for His blessing
Oh, let us live each moment, and live for something good; Let's
See what comes with the past, and plan your promise in the sun
The promise of living, The promise of growing, The
Promise of ending, Is labor, and sharing, and love
Amen
