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