If a child lives with criticism
He learns to condemn
If a child lives with shame
He learns to feel guilty

If a child lives with forgiveness
He learns to have patience
If a child lives with fairness
He learns justice

If a child lives with security
He learns to have faith

There's a love he will give you
You can't conceive it, just believe it
But you must become as a child
To receive it

Open up - he will come into your heart
Then you will see it
If a child lives with jesus
He learns to give love to the world
