(Boots)<br>
Out in the deserts of darkness and dreams,<br>
Out though the oceans of sadness we sailed.<br>
Venturing onwards through mystical scenes,<br>
Blown on the whim of the wind that prevailed.<br>
We had no reason to doubt the truth,<br>
Driven by danger and discontent,<br>
And the drums of youth.<br>
<br>
Don't let the memory die,<br>
Childen of the sky, heroes of the sea.<br>
And as your life passes by,<br>
Remember how it feels to be<br>
Children Of The Sky<br>
<br>
Searching on mountains of wisdom and fears,<br>
Searching in forests of feathers and snow.<br>
Travelling through valleys of secrets and tears,<br>
Where only the brave or the foolish would go.<br>
Watching for signs in an empty sky,<br>
We never thought that the rain would fall,<br>
As the years went by.<br>
<br>
Don't let the memory die,<br>
Childen of the sky, heroes of the sea.<br>
And as your life passes by,<br>
Remember how it feels to be<br>
Children Of The Sky<br>
<br>
(Instrumental Section)<br>
<br>
Don't let the memory die,<br>
Childen of the sky, heroes of the sea.<br>
And as your life passes by,<br>
Remember how it feels to be<br>
Children Of The Sky<br>
<br>
"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried<br>
As he landed his crew with care;<br>
Supporting each man on the top of the tide<br>
By a finger entwined in his hair.<br>
<br>
The Bellman himself they all praised to the skies -<br>
Such a carriage, such ease and such grace!<br>
Such solemnity, too! One could see he was wise,<br>
The moment one looked in his face!<br>
<br>
But the danger was past - they had landed at last,<br>
With their boxes, portmanteaus, and bags:<br>
Yet at first sight the crew were not pleased with the view,<br>
Which consisted of chasms and crags.<br>
<br>
He served out some grog with a liberal hand,<br>
And bade them sit down on the beach:<br>
And they could not but own that their Captain looked grand,<br>
As he stood and delivered his speech.<br>
<br>
