Rhymes and Reasons

[00:11.42] So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter
[00:18.58] Fear that is with-in you now that seems to never end
[00:24.69] And the dreams that have escaped you
[00:27.63] And the hope that you've forgotten
[00:31.02] And you tell me that you need me now
[00:33.95] And you want to be my friend
[00:36.90] And you wonder where we're going,
[00:40.08] Where's the rhyme and where's the reason,
[00:43.06] And it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin
[00:47.58] To seek the wisdom of the children
[00:55.86] And the graceful way of flowers in the wind
[01:02.11] For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
[01:08.46] Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
[01:14.81] Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow
[01:20.61] They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today.
[01:31.53] 'Tho the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us
[01:37.71] The sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea
[01:43.94] It is written from the desert to the mountains they shall lead us
[01:49.71] By the hand and by the heart they will comfort you and me
[01:56.07] In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free
[02:02.65] For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
[02:09.58] Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day
[02:15.48] And the song that I am singing is a prayer to non-believers
[02:21.54] Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way
[02:39.11]
