I wrote a song to it (in the 80s at Kemper) and sang it - badly as I don't have the soprano range! No idea what happened to it.

THANK YOU, Richard.
I have been listening to “Annie’s Song”, thinking to write words that celebrate being 80. Fragments of lyrics floating through my being. Then I wondered — did we write words to that tune?
I have a collection of about 600 songs — I may have gotten them from Larry Philbrook— and it is searchable by word or line — so I searched it and found no reference to the tune or the fragments I remembered.
I was about to go through the 20 songbooks recently uploaded , assuming the pdf’s are not word searchable — at least on my phone and iPad — looking for “Annie’s Song”
Thanks. You responded just in time …. Hey, wasn't there a song about that?? Jim Wiegel

THOSE WHO CARE *Tune: Annie's Song*
We know we are chosen, to be those who care, To know our election, and be those who dare.
*Refrain:* We cannot turn back now, our future is clear To claim our election‑to be those who care.
To lay new foundations that care for mankind. In building Fifth City, a new social sign.
A people of memories 60,000 years long. Telling the wonders, to the land they belong.
*Refrain* In the midst of the waters, a people alive, Building a nation as the third time arrives. Tomorrow's upon us, it's urgent to share. . The call to all people, to be those who care.
Refrain
