WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT 

It’s in the paper every morning.
Its on the news every night.
A nation wars against another,
A world power feeds the fight.

Hatred only breeds more hatred.
Weapons reach for the stars.
But we will all stand united
when we remember who we are.


CHORUS
We are the children of the light.
Love’s pure reflection shining bright.
Not separate bodies,
leading separate lives.
We are the children of the light.


Sometimes it all seems so hopeless,
so many seem so unkind,
but I don’t need to change my brother,
I only need to change my mind.

I can’t stop all the hatred.
I can’t fix the world outside.
But I can love the one beside me
and remember who’s inside.


CHORUS
We are the children of the light.
Love’s pure reflection shining bright.
Not separate bodies
leading separate lives.
We are the children of the light.


CHORUS REPRISE
We are the children of the light.
Love’s pure reflection shining bright
Not separate bodies
leading separate lives.
We are the children of the light.
