    Here's my favorite Ra Steven's song. It's sad he's forgotten this.
    Jesus loves the little children
    All the children of the world
    Red and yellow, black and white
    They are precious in his sight
    Jesus loves the little children of the world
    Everything is beautiful in its own way
    Like a starry summer night
    On a snow covered winter's day
    And everybody's beautiful in their own way
    Under God's heaven
    The world's gonna find the way
    There is none so blind
    As he who will not see
    We must not close up minds
    We must let our thoughts be free
    For every hour that passes by
    You know the world gets a little bit older
    It's time to realize that people lies
    In the eyes of the beholder
    And everything is beautiful in its own way
    Like a starry summer night
    On a snow covered winter's day, ah, sing it children
    Everybody's beautiful in their own way
    Under God's heaven
    The world's gonna find a way
    We shouldn't care about the length of his hair
    Of the color of his skin
    Don't worry about what shows from without
    But the love that lives within
    And we're gonna get old again now
    Everything is gonna work out fine
    Just take a little time to look on the good side my friend
    And straighten it out in your mind
    And everything is beautiful in its own way
    Like a starry summer night
    On a snow covered winter's day, ah, sing it children
    Everybody's beautiful in their own way
    Under God's heaven
    The world's gonna find a way, one more time
    Everything is beautiful in its own way
    Like a starry summer night
    On a snow covered winter's day

    I had no idea Ray Stevens was still active. Keep in mind that his first hit was in August 1961 (Jeremiah Peabody's Poly Unsaturated Quick Dissolving Fast Acting Pleasant Tasting Green And Purple Pills) and Ahab The Arab was his first major hit June 1962. This August (2024), that will be 63 years being active making and performing songs! Gitarzan was a big hit in April 1969 (I wasn't even a year old yet) and The Streak (April 1974) was a very memorable hit from the summer before I started first grade (Don't Look, Ethyl!). "Where The Sun Don't Shine" was a strange hit from 1982 that is rarely heard (I'll even rent a U-Haul to haul you all in...), but I remember the original recording of "Shriner's Convention" from 1980 before he rerecorded it removing the line "Whadda ya mean? It don't make no difference if she were sent over by the Knights of Columbus!" . "It's Me Again, Margaret" is one I just just heard again the other day. It's from 1983 and even though phone booths are a thing of the past, it's extremely funny. "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" is another favorite. He hit both charts (pop and country) and had such a wide variety of hits. Oh, I almost forgot about "The Dooright Family" from 1978 (Hush Mama, Virgil!). Such a great lifetime of songs.
