Think of all the people in your life
Who have left impressions on you.
The ones who never let you down
And those who were there each time you lost your way.
And all through your lifetime
You remember the ones who really cared
‘Cause they were always there.
In the garden, where the flowers grow;
In the garden, the future will unfold.
Thank God for the rivers and the mountains
And the valleys down below.
Thank God for the teachers of our children,
So the garden can grow.

Everybody knows
That a garden needs attention to succeed.
Without a firm and guiding hand,
The tender sprout is lost among the weeds.
And all through your lifetime
You remember those who guided you along
Until your roots were firm and strong.
In the garden where the precious flowers grow,
In the garden a better future will unfold.
Thank God for the rivers and the mountains
And the valleys down below.
Thank God for the teachers of our children
So the garden can grow.

Take time to say thank you.
Let your teachers know you’ll pass their gift along
So others may grow strong.
In the garden where the precious flowers grow,
In the garden tomorrow will unfold.
Thank God for the rivers and the mountains
And the valleys down below.
Thank God for the teachers of our children
So the garden can grow.
So the garden can grow.
So the garden can grow.
