Kathy Mar - Give My Children Wings lyrics

Give my children wings, but not the ghosts of wings I have found in the words of the dreamers Let them fly away to a world so far away From the fools and the cruel and the schemers Give them stars to juggle and comets for their toys A new life to build from their sorrows and joys Give my children wings, but not the ghosts of wings I have found in the words of the dreamers Give my children suns, but not the songs of suns That have nourished me all through my growing Songs can give them hope, but they need more than hope All their dreams are but seeds meant for sowing Give them the planets, a universe to share With all who are waiting to meet them out there Give my children suns, but not the songs of suns That have nourished me all through my growing Give my children life, a vast eternal life And a universe teeming with wonder Continents and skies, a million different skies Full of rainbows and snowflakes and thunders Give them bright tomorrows and not our dark todays Realms of love and beauty to cherish all their days Give my children life, a vast eternal life And a universe teeming with wonder
