So sweet and hopeful. We started singing it to our (now almost 6 y/o) son right after 9/11 to keep the beauty and hope in our hearts for him when we were feeling so dismal. <BR/><BR/>And funny, it's really the ONLY song I can think of that we only sing to them and they don't sing at all. I think it's really just a comfort thing for them. So many ways music works in our lives.<BR/><BR/>Deb in SFdeb in sfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622692671889721459noreply@blogger.com
