EVERY DAY (THE GUATEMALA SONG)
Anna Huckabee Tull
Past the white clouds, to a land where they’d never been before
They made this journey not just once; they went the whole way twice
So they could carry you, Claire and Sonia, all the way from where you were
Back to their door
You come from a land of wild jungles and live volcanoes
You come from a land of bright colors and shining rainbows
You come from a land that’s mystical and far away
And we’re so glad you came and we’re so glad
You’re here today
Now we are the four of us a family
All in one house with toys and books and love
Every day we watch you play and grow and love each other sisterly
And we remember fondly how you came to us
You came from a land of wild jungles and live volcanoes
You come from a land of bright colors and shining rainbows
You come from a land that’s mystical and far away
And we’re so glad you came and we’re so glad
You’re here today
And we can’t know all of where you’ve been
Just like we can’t know all of where you’re going
And it’s not always easy here, it’s not always easy
Anywhere
But we’re here for you all the days that we are here
And we will hold you so near, and so dear
And we’ll remind you
That you come from a home of wild laughter and loving family
You come from a home where we all feel that we’re supposed to be
You come from a land that’s mystical and far away
And you come from home here, where you’re so loved
You are so loved, every day, every day, every day…
La la la la la la…
