Lyrics
Sons and daughters are what we dream of the most.
The miracle of birth we celebrate and toast.
Enter the world unbroken, and with a word, a word unspoken
You'll be loved eternally.
Sons and daughters are what we cherish the most.
With time evolving year to year we learn to boast.
A little piece of heaven, our flesh and blood so pure; unleavened,
To love and guide eternally.
You know, without them your world would be cold.
You know, without them it's lonely growing old.
Sons and daughters are what we will miss the most.
When they are grown and gone, we'll lose our chance to host.
We've traced every footstep from off of our, yes, our front doorstep
Until the day they leave independently.
Sons and daughters are what we have loved the most.
A part of us instilled in them is all we hope.
And when they are standing so confident and yet unbending
We're certain then that they will stand the test.
And when they give their children
Love, understanding and a world to live in,
Then we will know, we'll know we did our best.
