Lyrics:

Your children are not your children
They are the sons and the daughters of life's longing for itself
They come through 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 their souls
For their souls dwell in a place of tomorrow
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams

You can try to be like them
But you cannot make them just like you
You can strive to be like them
But you cannot make them just like you

(Repeats)

From the album "The Flirtations". I do not own the copyright to this material; this is for editorial review only.
