"All My Children" Theme Song Lyrics

[JT]

These lyrics are for the original 1970 theme song. They were written in 1976 by Dina Dore, wife of soap opera theme song composer Charles Paul. Here they are!

All my children have come
Through the wilderness
To the promised land
There to be free

Who will show them the path
To the new frontier?
Who will take their hands
Down to the sea?

Let it shine
On this grove
Someday they'll know
Love's the only way

They must fasten their dreams
To another shore
Evermore
Until they find me

Their shadows roam
Someday they'll know
Love's the only way

They must follow the tide
Where the seabirds fly
Evermore
Until they find me

[JT]

That theme was the best. Charles Paul's themes are timeless. Loved AMC 1970-90, and As the World Turns 1956-81.

Wow! I loved that! I had no idea AMC's 1970 theme even had lyrics. I wonder if the current (revamped 90s version) does?
