Treasure Chest
Some of us come from a distant land
some of us from nearby
But all of us carry a treasure chest
with things that gold can’t buy
with things that gold can’t buy
And when we share our treasure chest
we all grow rich you see
The riches in our treasure chest
are what makes you and me
are what makes you and me
Holidays games and stories
Languages and songs
Faith and courage and wisdom
and ways to get along
and ways to get along
And when we share our treasure chest
we all grow rich you see
the riches in our treasure chest
are what makes you and me
are what makes you and me.
