Ah ah ah ah
We are children of the world
Watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life
Keeps us all anticipating

Ah ah ah ah
We are searchers of the truth
Every man's a boy deep down
Gotta say it how you mean it
There ain't no easy way

Like a bird in the wind
Like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child
From the moment he's born
To the very last day
When the curtains are drawn

Ah ah ah ah
We are children of the world
Asking every question why
From arrival to survival
Just to make it worth the waiting

Ah ah ah ah
We are faces in the night
Watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life
There ain't no easy way

In the back of your mind
There is always a mark
There's a wandering solo
Alone in the dark
You can keep it forever
Or tear it apart

Ah ah ah ah
We are children of the world
Watching every day go by
Changing my life, changing your life
Keeps us all anticipating

Ah ah ah ah
We are children of the world
Watching every day go by

Like a bird in the wind
Like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child
From the moment he's born
Till the very last day
When the curtains are drawn

Ah ah ah ah
We are children of the world
Watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life
Keeps us all anticipating

Ah ah ah ah
We are children of the world
Watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life
Keeps us all anticipating

Bee Gees

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
