A child of misfortune,
Had her share of tears.
And losing both her parents
Taught her how to face her fears.
So when this shy and simple lady
Became the President’s wife,
She found that helping other people
Brought purpose to her life.
Casual and friendly
With a heart of gold,
She brought her warm compassion
To the lonely and the cold.
Champion of the needy.
Strength in every word,
She became the voice of others
Who were begging to be heard.
And Eleanor always took a stand
For the hungry and the homeless all across the land.
Oh Eleanor, it was not the life you planned,
But you knew it made you happy to lend a helping hand.
A most admired woman,
She was “Eleanor Everywhere.”
She considered it her mission
To show goodwill and care.
She went all around the world
Not afraid to fight
For the cause of every human,
For the chance to make things right.
And Eleanor always took a stand
For the hungry and the homeless all across the land.
Oh Eleanor, it was not the life you planned,
But you knew it made you happy to lend a helping hand.
Though she had her share of broken dreams,
Mrs. Roosevelt would live
Defending simple human rights
With a heart that had to give.
And Eleanor always took a stand
For the hungry and the homeless all across the land.
