"Morrows Children" lyrics
When you leave the room, please close the door with care
You might never pass that way again
When you shake a stranger's hand, please, look them in the eye
You may never see that face again
When you fill your last balloon
When you're out of air
Compose a song to sing to morrow's children
Looking through the fragile glass of innocence of trust
Standing on his tip-toes with her eyes so bright and curious
Everybody knows that shiny metal turns to rust
Without care, so that leaves it up to us
When you slice the bread tonight
When you spread the butter
Please, give thanks to cows, and wheat, and farmers
When you say your last goodbye, to father and to mother
Compose a song to sing to morrow's children
Looking through the fragile glass of innocence of trust
Standing on his tip-toes with her eyes so bright and curious
Everybody knows that shiny metal turns to rust
Without care, so that leaves it up to us
When you leave the room, please close the door with care
You might never pass that way again
When you shake a stranger's hand, please, look them in the eye
You may never see that face again
When you fill your last balloon
When you're out of air
Compose a song to sing to morrow's children
Looking through the fragile glass of innocence of trust
Standing on his tip-toes with her eyes so bright and curious
Everybody knows that shiny metal turns to rust
Without care, so that leaves it up to us
When you slice the bread tonight
When you spread the butter
Please, give thanks to cows, and wheat, and farmers
When you say your last goodbye, to father and to mother
Compose a song to sing to morrow's children
Looking through the fragile glass of innocence of trust
Standing on his tip-toes with her eyes so bright and curious
Everybody knows that shiny metal turns to rust
Without care, so that leaves it up to us
When you leave the room, please close the door with care
