You are the bows from which //
Your children as living arrows are sent forth //
The archer sees his mark //
Let your bending be without fear
You may give them your love but not your thoughts //
You may house their bodies not their souls //
They dwell in the house of tomorrow //
Standing so far you'll never visit //
For life goes not backward //
Nor tarries with yesterday
Rain clouds of grey //
Gather slow behind your eyes //
Child of today //
Don't forget to sail the skies
All things are in colours //
Tunes of different age //
Softer message from life's flower //
Hills of long gone yesterdays
Dreams are the blossom //
Of our courage it is said //
True life long forgotten //
Echoes lost inside our heads
