Rhymes & Reasons

Rhymes & reasons

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 hope that you 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?
Where is the reason?
And it's you who 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 colors of the rainbows
They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today

Tough 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 the rain 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
