Lyrics

What becomes of our children's children
In the future, when we're no longer here
What becomes of our children's children
Many years away from now

A bedtime story got me thinking what the future holds
For ancestors who came before me never saw me reach my goals
So what's to come that I can't know
What will happen as they grow
Time will pass and I won't see the end once more

What becomes of our children's children
In the future, when we're no longer here
What becomes of our children's children
Many years away from now

I held my daughter's child today Her smile engulfed my soul
A ghost of all I'll never say in eyes that make me whole
While we're distracted time will pass
And leave no footprints in the grass
One day we'll be a memory as seasons fly so fast

What becomes of our children's children
In the future, when we're no longer here
What becomes of our children's children
Many years away

When the time comes, I must leave you
In my way, I'll always grieve you
But I embrace the times
The cosmic plan sublime
So onward, child, and live your life
And make your way through darkest night
On this you can depend
I'll be there at the end

What becomes of our children's children
In the future, when we're no longer here
What becomes of our children's children
Many years away from now

What becomes of our children's children
In the future, when we're no longer here
What becomes of our children's children
Many years away from now

What becomes of our children's children
In the future, when we're no longer here
What becomes of our children's children
Many years away

What becomes of our children's children
In the future, when we're no longer here
What becomes of our children's children
Many years away
