Rhymes & Reasons
So you speak to me of sadness & the coming of the winter
Fear that is with-in 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 & 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 & the flowers are my sisters & my brothers
Their laughter & their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
Like the music of the mountains & the colors of the rainbow
They're a promise of the future & a blessing for today.
'tho the cities start to crumble & the towers fall around us
The sun is slowly fading & it's colder than the sea
It is written from the desert to the mountains they shall lead us
By the hand & by the heart they will comfort you & me
In their innocence & trusting they will teach us to be free
For the children & the flowers are my sisters & my brothers
Their laughter & their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
And the song that i am singing is a prayer to non-believers
Come & stand beside us, we can find a better way
