Some people are just basically good people. They do not have to be the alphas in the pack, it’s a fundamental thing that suffering and humility can serve as a backdrop for compassion and wisdom. Have you encountered people whose lives are lived in the service of others, and who radiate joy? They live the saying that it’s better to give then receive. I am not so good at that, but love it when I see it in action!

Lyrics
Shy and gentle ways
The child in the corner
You will have your day
The prize will come to you
You’re the one
The bullies love to pick on
You’re the one we need
Feel the space you can fly in
Feel the place you can breathe
Every jail can be broken
Every lock has a key
The woman you’ve become
Everyone can trust you
You’ve come into your own
And learned to feed your soul
You’re the one
Who always thinks of others
You’re the one we need
Feel the space you can fly in
Feel the place you can breathe
Quiet strength has the power
You’re the one this world needs
In your final years
You’re generous and free
Tireless and clear
Not once about yourself
You’re the one
Who gives from start to finish
You’re the one we need
Book of life, book of giving
Glowing with an inner light
Years reveal lasting beauty
Heart is pure, eyes are bright
Every jail can be broken
Every lock has a key
Quiet strength has the power
You’re the one this world needs
Shy and gentle ways
The child in the corner
You will have your day
The prize will come to you . . .
