Like this brief day
My light is nearly gone
But through the night
My children, you will go on
You will know heartache
Prayers that don't work
And times of bitter circumstances
But I still believe in second chances
Children of Eden
Where have we left you?
Born to uncertainty
Destined for pain
Sins of your parents
Haunt you and test you
This your inheritance:
Fire and rain
Children of Eden
Try not to blame us
We were just human
To error prone
Children of Eden
Will you reclaim us?
You and your children to come
Someday you'll come home
Oh my precious children
If you think of us, try not to blame us
We were just human
To error prone
Children of Eden
You will reclaim us
You and your children to come
Someday you'll come home
