Rhymes & 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 the 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 |
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 mountains and the colors of the rainbow |
They’re 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 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.» |
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers |
Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day |
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers: |
«Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way.» |
