• There is a little meadow,
    just along the way,
    full of grass and marigolds,
    where all the children play.

    In this little meadow,
    children laugh and sing,
    about the world's great wonders
    and all the happiness they bring.
    This meadow is so lovely!
    All green and gold and bright
    And being in this meadow
    is like being in God's light!
    There are trees and flowers,
    like nature's little hugs,
    butterflies and roses,
    and bitty beetle bugs!
    It gives them a place to live,
    A place to skip and dance,
    and mostly most of all,
    it gives their childhood a chance!
    The meadow is so darling,
    the meadow is so dear
    to all the little children
    oh, so far and near!

    Yes, there is a little meadow,
    just along the way,
    full of grass and marigolds,
    where all the children play!


    They're paving it over for a parking lot tomorrow at noon.
