Am G
Your children are not your children
F C
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself
Dm Am
They come through you but not from you
F Em
And though they're with you they belong to themselves



Am G
You may give them your love but not your thoughts
F C
For they have thoughts of their own
Dm Am
You may house their bodies but not their souls
F Em Am
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow
F Em Am
which you cannot visit not even in your dreams



F
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
G Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
F G Am
Ooh-ooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooh-ooooh



Am G
You may strive to be like them
F C
but seek not to make them like you
Dm Am
For life goes not backward
F Em
nor tarries with yesterday



Am G
You are the bows from which your children
F C
as living arrows are sent forth
Dm Am
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite
F Em Am
and He bends you with His might
F Em Am
that His arrows may go swift and far



F
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
G Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
F G Am
Ooh-ooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooh-ooooh
F
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
G Am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
F G Am
Ooh-ooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooh-ooooh



F G Am
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness
F G Am
as He loves the arrow that flies He loves all that is is stable
F G Am
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness
Dm G Am
for even as he loves the arrow that flies he loves also the bow that is stable


Am, F, C, G, Am, F, G, Am
