1. So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter
2. Though the cities statrt to crumble and the towers fall around us
Fear that is within you now that seems to never end
The sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea
And the dreams that have escaped you, and the hope that you've for - gotten
It is written: From the desert to the moutains they shall lead us
You tell me that you need me now, and you want to be my friend
By the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me
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 be - gin to seek the wisdom of the children
To seek the wisdom of the children, and the graceful way of flowers in the wind
In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
Like the music of the ountains and the colors of the rainbow
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to non-believers
They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today
Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way
