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