Child Migration Lyrics - Eloy

You are the bows from which 

Your children as living arrows are sent forth. 

The archer sees his mark, 

Let your bending be without fear. 

You may give them your love, but not your thoughts, 

You may house their bodies, not their souls. 

They dwell in the house of tomorrow, 

Standing so far you'll never visit. 

For life goes not backward 

Nor tarries with yesterday... 

Rain clouds of grey 

Gather slow behind your eyes 

Child of today 

Don't forget to sail the skies.

All things are in colours, 

Tunes of different age 

Softer message from life's flower, 

Hills of long gone yesterdays. 

Distant hands in foreign lands, 

Rhythm remains unbroken, 

All unseen from where we stand 

Mind vibration 

Child Migration 

Dreams are the blossom 

Of our courage it is said 

true life, long forgotten, 

Echoes lost inside our heads. 

All things are in colours, 

Tunes of different age 

Softer message from life's flower, 

Hills of long gone yesterdays.

Hills of long gone yesterdays. 

Distant hands in foreign lands,
