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