So you speak to me of
sadness
And the coming of the winter
Fear
that is within you now
It seems to never
end
And the dreams that have escaped
you
And the hope that youve forgotten
You
tell me that you need me now
You want to be my
friend

And you wonder where were
going
Wheres the rhyme and wheres the
reason
And its you cannot accept
It is here
we must begin
To seek the wisdom of the
children
And the graceful way of flowers in
the wind

For the children and the
flowers
Are my sisters and my
brothers
Their laughter and their
loveliness
Could clear a cloudy
day

Like the music of the mountains
And
the colours of the rainbow
Theyre a promise of
the future
And a blessing for today
Though
the cities start to crumble
And the towers
fall around us
The sun is slowly fading
And
its colder than the sea

It is written from
the desert
To the mountains they shall lead
us
By the hand and by the heart
They will
comfort you and me
In their innocence and
trusting
They will teach us to be
free

For the children and the
flowers
Are my sisters and my
brothers
Their laughter and their
loveliness
Could clear a cloudy day

And
the song that I am singing
Is a prayer to non
believers
Come and stand beside us
We can
find a better way

Denver
