[00:00.00]On Children - Damien Rice
[00:31.38]Your children
[00:33.04]
[00:34.43]Are not your children
[00:36.29]
[00:37.54]They are the sons and daughters
[00:39.64]Of life's longing for itself
[00:42.52]
[00:44.62]They come through you
[00:46.58]
[00:47.97]Not from you
[00:49.93]
[00:51.24]Though they are with you
[00:52.95]They belong to themselves
[00:55.74]
[00:57.90]You may give them your love
[01:00.68]But not your thoughts
[01:03.09]
[01:04.92]For they have thoughts of their own
[01:09.00]
[01:10.71]You may house their bodies not their souls
[01:16.59]
[01:17.95]For their souls dwell
[01:19.54]In a house of tomorrow
[01:22.00]
[01:24.24]Which you cannot visit
[01:25.52]
[01:26.41]Not even in your dreams
[01:28.94]
[01:47.75]You may strive to be like them
[01:53.12]
[01:54.82]But seek not to make them like you
[01:59.26]
[02:01.58]For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday
[02:12.80]
[02:14.60]You are the bows from which your children
[02:20.22]
[02:20.86]As living arrows are sent forth
[02:26.76]
[02:28.31]The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite
[02:34.57]And He bends you with His might
[02:39.21]
[02:40.65]That His arrows may go swift and far
[02:45.99]
[03:17.92]Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness
[03:22.92]
[03:23.82]For even as He loves the arrow that flies
[03:26.89]So He loves the bow that is stable
[03:30.87]Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness
[03:36.72]
[03:37.38]For even as He loves the arrow that flies
[03:40.12]So He loves the bow that is stable
