Stephen Schwartz - Children of Eden lyrics

[EVE] Like this brief day My light is nearly gone But through the night My children you will go on You will know heartache Prayers that don't work And times of bitter circumstances But I still believe in second chances Children of Eden Where have we left you Born to uncertainty Destined for pain Sins of your parents Haunt you and test you This your inheritence Fire and rain Children of Eden Try not to blame us We were just human to error prone Children of Eden will you reclaim us You and your children to come Someday you'll come home [EVE, STORYTELLERS] Children of Eden Where is our garden Where is the innocence We can't reclaim Once eyes are opened Must those eyes harden Lost in the wilderness Must we remain [EVE] Oh my precious children If you think of us try not to blame us We were just human to error prone [EVE, STORYTELLERS] Children of Eden You will reclaim us You and your children to come Someday you'll come home
