Neil Diamond - Mothers and Daughters, Fathers and Sons lyrics

And so they came with perfect schemes

And precious dreams that made them one

One by one

Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze

With spirits blazing like the sun

Mothers and daughters,

Fathers and sons

They held the light

Yes they did

And it shined all night

Oh, all night

And they took the blows

Yes they did

Never letting go

Oh no, oh no

Oh no

And so they came with perfect schemes

And precious dreams that made them one

One by one

Oh, look up and see the eagles fly

And fill the sky beneath the sun

Mothers and daughters,

Fathers and sons

You hold the light

Yes you do

And you've got the right

Oh, got the right

And you'll feel the blows

Yes you will

Don't you dare let go

Oh no, oh no

Said that we have the right

Yes we do

It's down in black and white

Oh oh, oh oh

And we made it so

Yes we did

And we won't let go

Oh no, oh no
