Rhymes and Reasons

So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter

Fear that is within you now, that seems to never end

And the dreams that have escaped you and a hope that you've forgotten

And you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend

And you wonder where we're going where's the rhyme and where's the reason

And it's 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

Chorus:

For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers

Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day

Like the music of the mountain and the colors of the rainbow (1st Time)

And the song that I am singing is a prayer for non believers (2nd Time)

They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today

Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way.

 

(Instrumental)

Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us

The sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea

It is written from the desert to the mountains they shall lead us

By the hand and by the heart and they will comfort you and me

In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free (Chorus)
