Sons Of |
| Sons of the thief, sons of the saint |
| Who is the child with no complaint |
| Sons of the great or sons unknown |
| All were children like your own |
| The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears |
| The cries at night, the nightmare fears |
| Sons of the great or sons unknown |
| All were children like your own… |
| So long ago, long long ago… |
| But sons of tycoons or sons of the farms |
| All of the children ran from your arms |
| Through fields of gold, through fields of ruin |
| All of the children vanished too soon |
| In tow’ring waves, in walls of flesh |
| Among dying birds trembling with death |
| Sons of tycoons or sons of the farms |
| All of the children ran from your arms… |
| So long ago, long long ago… |
| But sons of your sons or sons passing by |
| Children we lost in lullabies |
| Sons of true love or sons of regret |
| All of the sons you cannot forget |
| Some built the roads, some wrote the poems |
| Some went to war, some never came home |
| Sons of your sons or sons passing by |
| Children we lost in lullabies… |
| So long ago, long long ago |
| But, sons of the thief, sons of the saint |
| Who is the child with no complaint |
| Sons of the great or sons unknown |
| All were children like your own |
| The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears |
| The cries at night, the nightmare fears |
| Sons of the great or sons unknown |
| All were children like your own… |
