Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Through devotion
Blessed are the children
Praise the teacher
That brings true love to many
[Verse 2]
Your devotion
Opens all life's treasures, yeah
And deliverance
From the fruits of evil
[Chorus]
So our mission
To bring a melody
Ringin' voices (Woo hoo hoo)
Sing sweet harmony
[Verse 3]
For you, here's a song (Here's a song)
To make your day brighter (Mmm, your day brighter)
One that will last you long (Last you long)
Through troubled days (Through troubled days)
[PreChorus]
Giving your heart, ooh
The light to brighten
Oh, oh, oh, all of the dark (All of the dark that falls in your way)
If it falls in your, in your way
[Chorus]
You need devotion (Oh, you need devotion)
Bless the children
Deliverance
From the fruits of evil
[Verse 4]
In everyone's life
There's a need to be happy, yeah
Let the sun shine
A smile your way
[PreChorus]
Open your heart
Feel the touch of devotion
Maybe this song (Maybe this song)
Will help uplift your day (Will help uplift your day)
Make a better way
[Chorus]
You need devotion (You need devotion)
Bless the children
Deliverance
From the fruits of evil (The fruits of evil)
[Chorus]
You need devotion (You need devotion)
Bless the children (Why don't you bless the children, Lord?)
Deliverance
From the fruits of evil (From the fruits of evil)
[Outro]
You need devotion (You need devotion)
Bless the children
Deliverance
