Am
You are the bows from which
F
your children as living arrows are sent forth
Dm
the archer sees his mark
Dm7 E
let your bending be without fear
F E
You may give them your love but not your thoughts
F E
you may house their bodies not their souls
Bm
They dwell in the house of tomorrow
C
standing so far you’ll never visit
Am
for life goes not backward
Dm Am
nor tarries with yesterday
Am
Rain clouds of grey, gather slow behind your eyes
Am
child of today, don’t forget to sail the skies

Em
All things are in colours
Am
tunes of different age
Am
softer message from life’s flower
Em
hills of long gone yesterdays
Dm
Distand hands in foreign lands
Em
rhythm remains unbroken
Dm
all unseen from where we stand
F Am
child migration, child migration
Am
Dreams are the blossom, of our courage it is said
Am
true life long forgotten, echoes lost inside our heads
