[Verse 1] Fast asleep, the mighty lion lies Underneath the endless meadow skies Tiny mouse comes hopping, light and sweet Jumping round the gentle giant's feet [Chorus] Thank you, thank you, dearest little friend! Even small hands have a helping hand to lend When we share our hearts, joy will grow and stay Let us sing together through the day! [Verse 2] Caught beneath the heavy paw so tight "Please let me go, don't take my life tonight!" With a smile, the lion set him free Waiting for the day to repay deed [Chorus] Thank you, thank you, dearest little friend! Even small hands have a helping hand to lend When we share our hearts, joy will grow and stay Let us sing together through the day! [Verse 3] Trapped inside the hunter’s heavy net Lion roars in sorrow and regret Rushing fast, the tiny mouse arrives Chewing through the ropes to save a life [Chorus] Thank you, thank you, dearest little friend! Even small hands have a helping hand to lend When we share our hearts, joy will grow and stay Let us sing together through the day! [Bridge] Lion bowed his head with thankful grace Saved because a friend was in this place Keep it in your heart forevermore Kindness is the greatest gift in store! [Chorus] Thank you, thank you, dearest little friend! Even small hands have a helping hand to lend When we share our hearts, joy will grow and stay Let us sing together through the day! [Outro] Yes, we sing together! Friend, thank you today! [Fade Out]
