So I greet you now as the evening light is fading
From the window of delights, I stood there so long ago
With all the colours of the new and the rushing world abounding
Wasting every breath and heartbeat, trying to wash away the rain
Stars come crashing down, from the world these days they shudder
Round the houses in the dawn, we stood and watched them as they fall
But let us walk on through the storm with all the might of life inside us
May your days be filled with gladness and your nights with endless calm
May you grow up to be kind, may you grow up to be gentle
May you go on to be loved and may you go on to be wise
And may each sunrise keep you warm and may each failure keep you learning
'Cause we'll never lose the living, all we'll ever lose is time
There's a chain
It binds us all in lives of wonder
There's a chain, hold it closely as you go
Let this name be your family and your shelter
Take this chain all your days don't let go
There's a chain
A chain of life and time and passing
There's a chain, guard it closely as you go
Let this name be your family and your shelter
Take this chain all your days don't let go
