I will be a Mentor and other Songs
I will be a Mentor
- One night I sat and wondered about the days ahead I had a couple hours what could I do with them I thought of all the children who had grown and moved on I prayed to find an answer then slept and rose at dawn
- Well I turned on the radio and heard somebody say NO CHILD will be left behind please volunteer today The words kept right on echoing their way right through my heart I said I have a question how can I do my part
- Suddenly this thought came to me
- I WILL BE A MENTOR and listen carefully Listen to a child who needs to be heard I WILL BE A MENTOR a friend in deed Now that I’ve decided my commitment is firm
- If you have a heart for kids I’m hoping one day you’ll say this
- I WILL BE A MENTOR and listen carefully Listen to a child who needs to be heard I WILL BE A MENTOR a friend in deed Now that I’ve decided my commitment is firm
- I WILL BE A MENTOR I WILL BE A MENTOR

No Child!
- Can you imagine what it must be like To be a child who’s left behind I wonder if the fear’s too much to bear I wonder if the child says is there anyone who cares Is there anyone who cares
- NO CHILD should feel abandoned deserted left behind NO CHILD should feel second best that cuts it’s too unkind All children are gifts from God precious in his sight NO CHILD should be abandoned deserted left behind
- I can’t imagine such a basic need To be filled up with security Is often lost or never even found I wonder if the child thinks is there any love around Is there any love around
- NO CHILD should feel abandoned deserted left behind NO CHILD should feel second best that cuts it’s too unkind All children are gifts from God precious in his sight NO CHILD should be abandoned deserted left behind
- Kids need to know God loves them so ‘Cause people aren’t perfect
- NO CHILD should feel abandoned deserted left behind NO CHILD should feel second best that cuts it’s too unkind All children are gifts from God precious in his sight NO CHILD should feel abandoned deserted left behind
- NO CHILD should be abandoned NO CHILD should feel abandoned NO CHILD!

Away From The Edge
- It’s scary at the edge A slide’s beyond the ledge Kids need to turn away We can show them the way
- Let’s talk kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE Turn kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE Walk kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE And head them toward the center of their hearts
- They can’t do it themselves Truth is kids need some help I’m glad I volunteer I am someone who hears
- Let’s talk kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE Turn kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE Walk kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE And head them toward the center of their hearts
- I hope every girl and boy Lives a life of peace and joy
- Let’s talk kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE Turn kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE Walk kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE And head them toward the center of their hearts
- Let’s talk kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE Turn kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE Walk kids AWAY FROM THE EDGE
AWAY FROM THE EDGE

You Heard Me
All those scenes that were inside me The parts that caused the pain Seems like you were there to guide me Straight through those nights and days
YOU HEARD ME and my world began to change YOU HEARD ME soon I couldn’t find the pain The minute I started to speak the fear began to leave I spoke you listened YOU HEARD ME
All those hurts are now forgiven Each day’s a brand new start Now at last I’m truly living I’m living in my heart
YOU HEARD ME and my world began to change YOU HEARD ME soon I couldn’t find the pain The minute I started to speak the fear began to leave I spoke you listened YOU HEARD ME
Where would I be if you hadn’t seen My life through my eyes
YOU HEARD ME and my world began to change YOU HEARD ME soon I couldn’t find the pain The minute I started to speak the fear began to leave I spoke you listened YOU HEARD ME
I spoke you listened YOU HEARD ME

A Brighter Place
Hope fades the gray faith makes A BRIGHTER PLACE Love’s light expands across this land and far away Trust and compassion flow new friends are made Love saves the day, we are A BRIGHTER PLACE
We reach out live to help those in need We reach out and suddenly we see Smiles on the faces of the children Faith has replaced their bewilderment
Hope fades the gray faith makes A BRIGHTER PLACE Love’s light expands across this land and far away Trust and compassion flow new friends are made Love saves the day, we are A BRIGHTER PLACE
I wonder if there’s shining in their eyes I wonder if there’s softness in their sighs
Hope fades the gray faith makes A BRIGHTER PLACE Love’s light expands across this land and far away Trust and compassion flow new friends are made Love saves the day, we are A BRIGHTER PLACE
Yes, A BRIGHTER PLACE
