Hymn For The Children |
| Their spirits soar on high |
| They wing with birds that float on by |
| Your love and mine |
| Their spirits with the breeze |
| That gently plays the summer leaves |
| Your love and mine |
| Life is a bird in the sky |
| Life is the breeze blowing by |
| Time picked the words |
| Time picked the songs |
| But we sang them wrong |
| Their spirits with the rain |
| That feeds the wheat and weeds the same |
| Your love and mine |
| The sun their spirits light |
| That feels and warms both black and white |
| Your love and mine |
| Life is the rain from on high |
| Life is the sun in the sky |
| Time picked the words |
| Time picked the songs |
| We were the choir |
| But we sang them wrong |
| Their spirits bless the cruel |
| The intellectual, the fool |
| Your love and mine |
| Their spirits point the way |
| But who has noticed, who will say |
| Your love or mine? |
| Life is a soft lullaby |
| Soothing a child as it cries |
| But it cries in pain |
| Time wrote the songs |
| We hear the cry |
| And still we sing wrong |
