Verse
Am G
Your children are not your children.
F G
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself,
F Am
They come through you, but not from you
G Am
And though they're with you, they belong to themselves.
[Verse 2]
Am G
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.
F G
For they have thoughts of their own,
F Am
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
G Am
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams,
[Chorus 1]
F G Am Am (2x)
UUUUuuuuuuh
[Verse 3]
Am G
You may strive to be like them,
F G
but seek not to make them like you.
F Am
For life goes, not backward
G Am
nor tarries with yesterday.
[Verse 4]
Am G
You are the bows from which your children,
F G
as living arrows are sent forth,
F Am
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
G Am
and He bends you, with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
[Chorus 2]
F G Am Am (2x)
UUUUuuuuuh
F G Am
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
F G Am
as He loves the arrow that flies, He loves all that is is stable,
F G Am
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness,
F G Am
for even as he loves the arrow that flies, he loves also the bow that is stable
