Your children are not your children
They are the sons and daughters of
Life's longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you
They belong not to you
Belong not to you
You may give them
Your love but not your thoughts
You may house their bodies
But not their souls
For their souls will mend
The house of tomorrow
Your children are not your children
They are the sons and daughters of
Life's longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you
They belong not to you
Belong not to you
Your children are not your children
They are the sons and daughters of
Life's longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
Life's longing for itself
Life's longing for itself
