lyrics

Sing with the Children

Sing with the children, speak with the children
Dream with the children, sing for the children

They will inherit the earth, though they never asked for it
What will we leave them, what will we leave them?

Will we leave them a desert, or will we leave them fertile land
Will we leave them a war zone - or will we leave them peace?
Will we leave them forests and the sacred trees
Or will we leave them a concrete waste?

What will we leave them?

Will we leave them the oceans and the roaring surf
And the life that clings to the rocks at low tide?
Will we leave them rivers, and clear water
Or will we leave them poison, hunger and thirst?

They will inherit the earth, though they never asked for it..

Will we leave them the creatures that roam across the earth,
Or will we leave them fading memories?
Will we leave them Spring and the Dawn Chorus,
Or will we leave them silence and death?

What will we leave them?

Will we leave them laughter and the joy of life
Or will we leave them anger and hate ?
Will we leave them freedom and imagination
Or will we leave them prisons of despair?
Will we leave them wisdom, and the power of healing
And will we leave them poetry and song?

They will inherit the earth, though they never asked for it...
What will we leave them?
