<br>

(Boots)<br>

Out in the deserts of darkness and dreams,<br>

Out though the oceans of sadness we sailed.<br>

Venturing onwards through mystical scenes,<br>

Blown on the whim of the wind that prevailed.<br>

We had no reason to doubt the truth,<br>

Driven by danger and discontent,<br>

And the drums of youth.<br>

<br>

Don't let the memory die,<br>

Childen of the sky, heroes of the sea.<br>

And as your life passes by,<br>

Remember how it feels to be<br>

Children Of The Sky<br>

<br>

Searching on mountains of wisdom and fears,<br>

Searching in forests of feathers and snow.<br>

Travelling through valleys of secrets and tears,<br>

Where only the brave or the foolish would go.<br>

Watching for signs in an empty sky,<br>

We never thought that the rain would fall,<br>

As the years went by.<br>

<br>

Don't let the memory die,<br>

Childen of the sky, heroes of the sea.<br>

And as your life passes by,<br>

Remember how it feels to be<br>

Children Of The Sky<br>

<br>

(Instrumental Section)<br>

<br>

Don't let the memory die,<br>

Childen of the sky, heroes of the sea.<br>

And as your life passes by,<br>

Remember how it feels to be<br>

Children Of The Sky<br>

<br>

"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried<br>

As he landed his crew with care;<br>

Supporting each man on the top of the tide<br>

By a finger entwined in his hair.<br>

<br>

The Bellman himself they all praised to the skies -<br>

Such a carriage, such ease and such grace!<br>

Such solemnity, too! One could see he was wise,<br>

The moment one looked in his face!<br>

<br>

But the danger was past - they had landed at last,<br>

With their boxes, portmanteaus, and bags:<br>

Yet at first sight the crew were not pleased with the view,<br>

Which consisted of chasms and crags.<br>

<br>

He served out some grog with a liberal hand,<br>

And bade them sit down on the beach:<br>

And they could not but own that their Captain looked grand,<br>

As he stood and delivered his speech.<br>
