Eloy - Child Migration lyrics

rate me

You are the bows from which<br />

Your children as living arrows are sent forth.<br />

The archer sees his mark,<br />

Let your bending be without fear.<br />

You may give them your love, but not your thoughts,<br />

You may house their bodies, not their souls.<br />

They dwell in the house of tomorrow,<br />

Standing so far you'll never visit.<br />

For life goes not backward<br />

Nor tarries with yesterday...<br />

Rain clouds of grey<br />

Gather slow behind your eyes<br />

Child of today<br />

Don't forget to sail the skies.<br />

All things are in colours,<br />

Tunes of different age<br />

Softer message from life's flower,<br />

Hills of long gone yesterdays.<br />

Distant hands in foreign lands,<br />

Rhythm remains unbroken,<br />

All unseen from where we stand<br />

Mind vibration<br />

Child Migration<br />

Dreams are the blossom<br />

Of our courage it is said<br />

True life, long forgotten,<br />

Echoes lost inside our heads.<br />

All things are in colours,<br />

Tunes of different age<br />

Softer message from life's flower,<br />

Hills of long gone yesterdays.<br />

Distant hands in foreign lands,<br />

Rhythm remains unbroken,<br />

All unseen from where we stand<br />

Mind vibration<br />

Child Migration<br />

Rain clouds of grey<br />

Gather slow behind your eyes<br />

Child of today<br />

Don't forget to sail the skies.<br />

All things are in colours,<br />

Tunes of different age<br />

Softer message from life's flower,<br />

Hills of long gone yesterdays.<br />

Distant hands in foreign lands,<br />

Rhythm remains unbroken,<br />

All unseen from where we stand<br />

Mind vibration<br />
