about

The children is about the place we find ourselves now- particularly in the west... where distraction, ambition, materialism and cynicism has taken over so much that we have lost the ability to read signs in the world around us that might point to something more ethereal. Religious institutions have become so corrupt, they have soiled the messages that were hidden within them for centuries.
So many of us feel cut loose internally- as if we're floating in space with no direction, nobody to guide us, nobody to trust.
This song is about looking for signs in the little things. The waves, the flickering of a candle, the stars in the sky. It's reflecting on all this...with a sense of hope that there is something more out there for us to connect to- something that also connects us all together.

lyrics

THE CHILDREN

There’s a whisper in the wind
there’s a whisper in the rain
And it eases all the worry
It eases all the pain

There’s a solace in the sky
And the stars above
They’re as infinite as life
And death
And love

There’s a comfort in the earth
That lies below
And it’s full of our streets
And our homes

But where are the children?
Where are the children?
Where are the children of God?

There’s a talking in the waves
As they land upon the shore
And the stones beneath my feet
As I walk to your front door

There’s a dancing in this candle
That lies between us
It flickers and it bends
As does our love

Where are the children?
Where are the children?
Where are the children of God?

We are the children
We are the children
We are the children of God
