Sons Of
Scott Walker Lyrics

Sons of the thief, sons of the saint
Children who are born to both the good and the bad, the sinners and the saints.

Who is the child with no complaint
As a parent, you worry about the child who never speaks up or complains about their struggles.

Sons of the great or sons unknown
Regardless of their social status or fame, every child is equal and important.

All were children like your own
All children, regardless of whose they are, deserve to be loved and protected like your own.

The same sweet smiles, the same sad tears
Children are children no matter their background, and every child experiences both happiness and sadness.

The cries at night, the nightmare fears
As a parent, you are always there to comfort your child in their times of fear and sadness, even at night.

But sons of tycoons or sons of the farms
Regardless of their upbringing or financial status, every child is important and worthy of love and care.

All of the children ran from your arms
Sometimes children grow up and move away, even if they were once held dearly in the arms of their parents.

Through fields of gold, through fields of ruin
Children are exposed to both beauty and destruction in the world around them, but they still need guidance and protection.

All of the children vanished too soon
Children grow up too fast and time with them is fleeting, so it is important to cherish every moment.

Sons of your sons or sons passing by
As generations pass, the love and care for children remains constant, and even those passing by deserve attention and affection.

Children we lost in lullabies
Sometimes, as parents, you lose or miss out on time with your children due to circumstances out of your control.

Sons of true love or sons of regret
Regardless of the circumstances of their conception, every child deserves the same love and attention.

All of the sons you cannot forget
The love for your children, no matter their age or distance, never fades and stays with you always.

Some built the roads, some wrote the poems
Every child has their own path in life, but they all have the potential for great things and should be cherished for who they are.

Some went to war, some never came home
As parents, you worry about the safety and well-being of your children, especially in times of conflict or danger.

So long ago: long, long, ago
The memories of your children, regardless of their age or distance, stay with you always, and time passes quickly.
