lyrics

Saturday’s Children

Clancy don’t be weary don’t you know that you can’t fail?
Remember that your life is not your jail
And Clancy don’t be frightened just because your dreams went wrong
It’s time for you to sing a different song.

And its alright - they get together every night
Yeah, its alright - they get together every night
Saturday’s children they shall never roam
Too far from home.

Clancy lift your head up don’t you know that hope is free?
You must be whatever you must be
And Clancy let your heart sing don’t you know that dreams come true?
With love around there’s nothing you can’t do.

And its alright - they get together every night
Yeah, it’s alright - they get together every night
Saturday’s children they shall never roam
Too far from home.

Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is filled with grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday’s child works hard for its living.

(Instrumental)

And it’s alright - they get together every night
Yeah, its alright - they get together every night
Saturday’s children they shall never roam
Too far from home.
Too far from home
Too far from home
Too far from home.
