[00:00.00]Hymn For The Children (BBC TV 'Old Grey Whistle Test' Live Studio Session) - Barclay James Harvest
[00:18.23]Their spirits soar on high
[00:22.28]They wing with birds that float on by
[00:27.41]Your love and mine
[00:34.71]Their spirits with the breeze
[00:38.90]That gently plays the summer leaves
[00:43.78]Your love and mine
[00:49.44]Life is a bird in the sky
[00:53.46]Life is the breeze blowing by
[00:57.43]Time picked the words
[00:59.55]Time picked the songs
[01:01.51]But we sang them wrong
[01:07.55]Their spirits with the rain
[01:11.60]That feeds the wheat and weeds the same
[01:16.87]Your love and mine
[01:23.96]The sun their spirits light
[01:27.91]That feels and warms both black and white
[01:33.10]Your love and mine
[01:38.55]Life is the rain from on high
[01:42.47]Life is the sun in the sky
[01:46.41]Time picked the words
[01:48.57]Time picked the songs
[01:50.61]We were the choir
[01:52.35]But we sang them wrong
[02:13.09]Their spirits bless the cruel
[02:16.94]The intellectual the fool
[02:22.03]Your love and mine
[02:29.12]Their spirits point the way
[02:33.20]But who has noticed who will say
[02:38.46]Your love or mine
[02:43.76]Life is a soft lullaby
[02:47.78]Soothing a child as it cries
[02:51.81]But it cries in pain
[02:54.00]Time wrote the songs
[02:55.93]We hear the cry
[02:57.93]And still we sing wrong
