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