Judy Collins - Daughters of Time lyrics

From the beginning of time Like a heartbeat that never can die Like the wind on the sea like the sun on the sand Like a baby's cry We've had a dream in our hearts That gives us the courage to try We must have a song that says we can be strong We must reach for the sky We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time We are no longer alone we are no longer afraid We can reach out with our hands and our hearts That's how dreams are made Over the water so wide Like a bird that sails on through the sky We know the way to be the best we can be And look life in the eye We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time Just like the lady in the harbor shining bright Giving her hope in the darkest of the nightJ Ust like the lady in the harbor standing tall Now we know we are together one and all We're on our way to the stars Nothing can turn us away We will survive and our dream is alive of a better day There is a way to find peace Turning away from the past With love for our brothers and sisters on earth We'll have a new world at last We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
