I see myself reborn 
In every generation 
I look to children 
For my source and my salvation 
And I will build my house of rock 
On their foundation stone. 

I can see the new beginning 
The universal loser winning 
I can hear the children singing 
Making a date with tomorrow. 

Once I was blinded 
By the light of my reflection 
The mirror's eyes were moist 
With tears of deep affection 
I could not see my way 
To make the last connection home. 

The leaves of my life 
Have been falling 
And time rolls along 
Like a wheel 
The innocent games 
That we once played as kids 
Are for real.
