Children of Tomorrow - Theme Song
In 1998 Emily Laws and Yvonne Smedley composed ELSA's theme song, 'Children of Tomorrow'.
In 1999 Emily, Yvonne, 15 students and some family members travelled by coach to a professional studio in Wakefield to make the first recording of the track, incorporating a trip to Bradford's famous TV and Film Museum.
On December 1st an updated version of the song was recorded as part of our 2013 celebrations at Bluebird Recording Studio in St. Annes. It was a successful and enjoyable experience and covered extensively by the local press. The following students successfully 'won' places on the recording: Millie Stephens, Hollie Stephens, Matthew Hellewell, Madelaine Markham, Erin James, Conor James, Poppy Appleton, Emily Gardner, Grace Hammond, Molly Baldwin, Siobahn Cartmell, Molly Turley.
THE LYRICS
We're looking up at the mountains
Were gazing down to the deep
When you are fearful of drowning
When you're road is too steep
When obstacles are in your way
However tough it seems
Never doubt the truth
There's no impossible dreams
CHORUS: We are the children of tomorrow
We're reaching for the stars, the highest heights
Believe in us the way we do
We want to share the dream with you
We are the future, the shining lights
We have been given a gift
We have been given a voice
We have been given the world
We have been given a choice
We're told that dreams just can't come true
The price is just too high
But though our feet may touch the ground
You're going to see us fly
We're holding onto dreaming
This is where it starts
We'll shine on through tomorrow cos
We're following our hearts
