voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1418 | price: $2.90
accompaniment: piano

The uplifting poem with its theme of hope inspired a rhythmic piano accompaniment, and for the singers, great melodies that move from part to part. If ever the occasion arrives for an all-convention or all-city sing, the profound message and conservative ranges make this the perfect choice.

We sing of yellow dragonflies and brilliant orange sunsets,
of dappled forests and oceans, dancing with life.
We sing of generations of lined and loving faces,
and eyes, clear in their knowing.
We sing for the hope of the children, of hope for the world,
  and the new rooster song, fresh each morning.
We sing of blessed yesterdays and holy tomorrows,
of changing colors: the seasons, shining with light.
Where yellows and oranges, forests and oceans wait for us,
wait to find hope for the world.

Robert Bode
