lyrics

Sons of the thief, sons of the saint
Who is the child with no complaint
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own

The same sweet smiles,
the same sad tears
The cries at night,
the nightmare fears
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own...

So long ago: long, long, ago...

But sons of tycoons
or sons of the farms
All of the children ran
from your arms
Through fields of gold,
through fields of ruin
All of the children
vanished too soon

In tow’ring waves, in walls of flesh
Among dying birds trembling with death
Sons of tycoons or sons of the farms
All of the children ran from your arms...

So long ago: long, long, ago...

But sons of your sons
or sons passing by
Children we lost in lullabies
Sons of true love or sons of regret
All of the sons you cannot forget

Some built the roads,
some wrote the poems
Some went to war,
some never came home
Sons of your sons or sons passing by
Children we lost in lullabies...

So long ago: long, long, ago

But, sons of the thief,
sons of the saint
Who is the child with no complaint
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own

The same sweet smiles,
the same sad tears
The cries at night,
the nightmare fears
Sons of the great or sons unknown
All were children like your own...

Like your own, like your own
