LITTLE BELL

  

Little bell

The sounds of your songs

You ring out

The music we need to hear

 

You hang in church towers

And on trolley cars

You travel upon the rails

Because you own the day

 

You talk to our hearts

And you know our needs

Your rings are so proud

That takes our fears away

 

Ring on little bell

That rings in the darkness

And you bring dreams to life

For time is your friend

 

We’ll put you on the shelf

There you will sit in silence

And wait for directions

But you know your duty

 

Then when it’s time

We’ll pick you up with care

And then by choice

You will call out unhappiness,

 

And little bell in our hands

We’ll call all to dinner

Where joy will sing and dance

 

“Ring! Ring! Ring on!”
