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