Hợp Âm Chuẩn
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Your children are not your children.
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
They come through you, but not from you
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And though they're with you, they belong to themselves.
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts.
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
For they have thoughts of their own,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams,
[ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] (2x)
UUUUuuuuuuh
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You may strive to be like them,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
but seek not to make them like you.
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
For life goes, not backward
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
nor tarries with yesterday.
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You are the bows from which your children,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
as living arrows are sent forth,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
and He bends you, with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
[ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] (2x)
UUUUuuuuuh
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
as He loves the arrow that flies, He loves all that is is stable,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
for even as he loves the arrow that flies, he loves also the bow that is stable
