Go placidly out into this world
Abandon all the noise and haste
It s all the simplest of treasures
Life s a gift you don t want to waste
It s the first breath of life
The warmth of your lover s eyes
This is Desderata

It s strength, it s love
It s passion
It s faith, it s hope
It s compassion
When you search to find it you learn
It s already there
It s hope, it s love
Fly on the wings of a dove
Desderata is there

Life in itself is a miracle
You will find the joy it brings
There is no greater thing than love
When you re flying with its wings
It s a place deep inside
It s the heart of a child
You ll see, it s Desderata

It s strength, it s love
It s passion
It s faith, it s hope
It s compassion
When you search to find it you learn
It s already there
It s hope, it s love
Fly on the wings of a dove
