You are the future, the mother explained
And I give you these wings to fly
Soar above the midnight stars
That blanket the clear night sky
Over the powerful mountaintops
To valleys far below
Dance along far away rivers
Run barefoot through the snow
Laugh with full abandon
Throw your arms around a tree
Let your heart be filled with passion
And pride for all you see
Walk gently where you cannot fly
Plant flowers by the roadway
Spread your wings with courage
Choose wisely what you say
Learn to hear the whisper
Of the harmony of living
Protect this priceless ancient gift
Never take without first giving
This world is your inheritance
With all its joy and pain
When all else is just a memory
This world will still remain.
And I give you these wings to fly

Let your heart be filled with passion

Protect this priceless ancient gift
Never take without first giving
This world is your inheritance

When all else is just a memory
This world will still remain.
