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