[Verse 1]
Your Amchildren are not your cGhildren,
They're the soFns and daughters of Life's longing for itCself,
They come thDmrough you, not fAmrom you
Though they'rFe with you, they belong to theEmselves.
[Verse 2]
You may gAmive them your love, but not your thGoughts,
For thFey have thoughts of their oCwn,
You may hDmouse their bodies, not their soulsAm,
For their soFuls dwell in the hoEuse of tomoAmrrow,
Which you cFannot visit,E not even in your dAmreams.
[Bridge 1]
OoooFoooh, OoooAmooooh
OoFooh, OoDmooh, OoooAmooooh
[Verse 3]
You may stAmrive, to be like tGhem,
but seFek not to make them like yCou.
For lDmife goes, not backAmward
nor tarFries with yesteErday.
[Verse 4]
You are the bAmows from which your chiGldren,
as living arrFows are sent foCrth,
The ArDmcher sees the mark upon the pAmath of the infinite,
and He beFnds you, wEith His mAmight
that HFis arrows mEay go swift and fAmar.
[Bridge 2]
OFoooooGoh, OoooAmoooooooh
OoFooh, OoDmooh, OoooAmoooooooh
OFoooooGoh, OoooAmoooooooh
OoFooh, OoDmooh, OoooAmoooooooh
[Verse 4]
May your benFding in the Archer's hGand be for glaAmdness,
For even as He loFves the arrow that flGies, He loves the bow that is stAmable,
May your benFding in the Archer's hGand be for glaAmdness,
For even as He loFves the arrow that fDmlies, He loves the bow that is stAmable
[Outro]
OoooFoooh, OoooGooooh, OoooAmooooooo ooooAmooooh
OoooFoooh, OoooGooooh, OoooAmooooooo ooooAmooooh
