Mothers And Daughters, Fathers And Sons

(album: You Don't Bring Me Flowers - 1978)

And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one

Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze
With spirits blazing like the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons

They held the light
Yes they did
And it shined all night
Oh, all night
And they took the blows
Yes they did
Never letting go
Oh no, oh no
Oh no

And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one

Oh, look up and see the eagles fly
And fill the sky beneath the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons

You hold the light
Yes you do
And you've got the right
Oh, got the right
And you'll feel the blows
Yes you will
Don't you dare let go
Oh no, oh no

Said that we have the right
Yes we do
It's down in black and white
Oh oh, oh oh

And we made it so
Yes we did
And we won't let go
Oh no, oh no
