letra de children’s house - joy of cooking

[verse 1]
as i walk the still green hills
waiting for the winter rains
looking out at what’s before me
and all that still remains

[verse 2]
the pale sun works slowly now
and pokes stiff fingers in the land
i wonder how much has been forgotten
and how much is left to understand
i think about past generations
as the gulls fly seaward overheard
indians who danced here have been forgotten
and who will dance here when i’m dead

this is our children’s house
and they wait outside the door
they’re listening to our voices
and learning what we think we’re here for

do we know and can we tell them?
as our own fathers live out their lie
as we grow sick and tired from watching
how they’ve let the earth slip by

this is no mansion now
its dust is filling up the sky
we must repair somehow
or be haunted by our children’s cry

do we know and can we tell them?
just what it means to be a man
for we are living in our children’s house
and they will follow only if they can
they will follow only if they can
[outro]
this is our children’s house
there’s no mansion now
do we know, can we tell them?
do we know, can we tell them?
do we know and can we tell them?
do we know and can we tell them?
repeat in background: (do we know, can we tell them?)
this is our children’s house
can’t you see it’s no mansion now
take a look around
and you can see the birds
you can see the fish lying all across the shore
take a look around, take a look around
you know you just might wonder, you just might wonder
who can live here, who can live here anymore
who can live here anymore anymore anymore
but this is our children’s house and they have to live here
can we tell them what it means to be a man

cos we are living in our children’s house
they will follow only if they can
they will follow only if they can
