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







Words and music:Kathy Mar
