Barclay James Harvest Lyrics for Song: Hymn For The Children
 Lyrics for Album: Sea Of Tranquility: Polydor Years 1974-1997 [2009]
 
 
 
 24709>Their spirits soar on high
 
 They wing with birds that float on by
 
 Your love and mine
 
 Their spirits with the breeze
 
 That gently plays the summer leaves
 
 Your love and mine
 
 
 
 Life is a bird in the sky
 
 Life is the breeze blowing by
 
 Time picked the words
 
 Time picked the songs
 
 But we sang them wrong
 
 
 
 Their spirits with the rain
 
 That feeds the wheat and weeds the same
 
 Your love and mine
 
 
 
 The sun their spirits light
 
 That feels and warms both black and white
 
 Your love and mine
 
 
 
 Life is the rain from on high
 
 Life is the sun in the sky
 
 Time picked the words
 
 Time picked the songs
 
 We were the choir
 
 But we sang them wrong
 
 
 
 Their spirits bless the cruel
 
 The intellectual, the fool
 
 Your love and mine
 
 
 
 Their spirits point the way
 
 But who has noticed, who will say
 
 Your love or mine?
 
 
 
 Life is a soft lullaby
 
 Soothing a child as it cries
 
 But it cries in pain
 
 Time wrote the songs
 
 We hear the cry
 
 And still we sing wrong
