Lyrics
Verse 1
A year ago my heart stopped smiling
I was left alone
No children playing, friends celebrating
My future was unknown
Verse 2
I found a flower and made a wish...
'Please make my dreams come true'
With light and love, rain from above
I trust my joy will bloom
CHORUS
Drop by drop, day by day
New hope and sunshine comes my way
Step by step, mile by mile
My heart can smile
Verse 3
A fruit, a bud, a flower, a tree
And soon comes life for you and me
Once again we laugh and sing
And thank our land for everything.
CHORUS
Drop by drop and day by day
New hope and sunshine comes my way
Step by step and mile by mile
My heart can smile
BRIDGE
As time passed and orchards grew
Where children play and dreams come true
Fruit and love for everyone;
My homeland's filled with joy and song
CHORUS
Drop by drop and day by day
New hope and sunshine comes my way
Step by step and mile by mile
My heart can smile
