Fame - These Are My Children lyrics

In times of trouble When all the world seems, oh, so dark And I can't find a way to cope When deep inside me I can no longer feel the spark And I can see no ray of hope When I am lost What makes it all worthwhile One simple thought to make me smile These are my children My saving grace I see my calling In every face These are my children My family tree And I thank God And I thank God For choosing me, for choosing me I wasn't blessed As other women in this life To have my own, to be mother and wife But I was blessed Beyond where wildest dreams can reach For I have the privilege Yes, the privilege to teach These are my children My saving grace I see my calling In each and every face These are my children My family tree And I thank God And I thank God Yes, I thank God For choosing me For choosing me These are my children
