Song Lyrics

Be not afraid at all, be not afraid to know
And ride the wings of change, to a better time
Come take the hand of hope, and learn the ways of man
For you're the path that leads to the other side
The skin upon our faces has melt the ice of ages
Now our destiny is yours

[Chorus]
Children lift up your eyes to the heavens
Send your vision out beyond
Children take up the torch and we will follow
You're the light of the world

Hear echoes in the dark from voices of the heart
You teach the song of life we take for granted
We've given you the key, so you'll unlock the door
We're looking through your eyes to another day
You bring a change of season, something to believe in
Now our destiny is yours

Children lift up your eyes to the heavens
Send your vision out beyond
Children take up the torch and we will follow
Bring some light into this world

Be not afraid at all, be not afraid to show
Your voices will be heard, wish I learned
We shelter from the storm, we can't make it on our own
So lift our spirit to the other side

Children lead us away from the sorrow
You're the arrows from the bow
Another kingdom awaits your arrival
Giving freedom to the soul

Let the children follow, let the children see
All the children walk to the other side
Let the children follow, let the children see
All the children walk to the other side

Let the children follow, let the children see
All the children walk to the other side
Let the children follow, let the children see
All the children walk to the other side
Let the children follow, let the children see
