On Children Lyrics

Your children,
are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters,
of life longing for itself.
They come trough you,
but they are not from you.
And though they are with you,
they belong not to you.

You can give them your love,
but not your thoughts.
They have their own thoughts,
they have their own thoughts.
You can house their bodies,
but not there souls.
For their souls dwell,
in a place of tomorrow.

Wich you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams.
You can try to be like them,
but you cannot make them just like you.
Try to be like them...
