Children of the Sky

So rise the children of the sky
How they wave at us from up above
While we here on the waves drift from day to day
Never knowing of their love

Those times you and I had tried
To change our impossible ways
But on way to become what we'd become
We lost that chance again

That smile, that memory of a time
How we cruel people never really learn
And when I got home that dawn to learn you had gone
Never to return

So rise the children of the sky
How they wave to us from above
While we here waste away upon our day today
Never knowing of their love

Those times you and I had tried
To take back what the world had cruelly stole
But when I see you, I see that missing part of me
That never will be whole
