Recognition is what every soul desires
Recognition is what fans the inner fires
Of purpose and of meaning and of worth
Recognition from the day of birth

We want to know that we are seen and heard
We want to know our life is not absurd
We want to know that what we do and say
Has meaning and has value every day

Recognition doesn’t have to come from fame
Recognition doesn’t have to know your name
In lights across the world for all to see
Recognition from the ones close to thee

Recognition is what every soul desires
Recognition fans the inner fires
Give it freely to the ones around
Recognition is the sweetest sound

Cheers!
