"Or Children" Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.
MOTHER
How they play
Finding treasure in the sand
They're forever hand in hand,
Our children.
TATEH
How they laugh
She has never laughed like this
MOTHER
Every waking moment, bliss.
BOTH
Our children.
TATEH
See them running down the beach
Children run so fast...
MOTHER
Toward the future...
TATEH
From the past.
MOTHER
How they dance.
Unembarrassed and alone
BOTH
Hearing music of their own,
Our children.
TATEH
One so fair,
MOTHER
And the other, lithe and dark
BOTH
Solemn joy and sudden spark
Our children
See them running down the beach
Children run so fast
Toward the future
From the past
There they stand,
Making footprints in the sand
And forever, hand in hand
Our children.
Two small lives,
Silhouetted by the blue
One like me
And one like you
Our children.
Our children.
