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
