G D C G
So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter
Em G C D
Fear that is within you now that seems to never end
G D C G
And the dreams that have escaped you and the hope that you’ve
forgotten
Em G D
You tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend
C Am G D
And you wonder where we’re going, where’s the rhyme
and where’s the reason
Em G D
And it’s you cannot accept, it is here we must begin
Am
To seek the wisdom of the children
G C D
And the graceful way of flowers in the wind
G D C G
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
Em G C D
Their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day
G D C G
Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow
Em G D G
They’re a promise of the future, and a blessing for today.
G D C G
Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us
Em G C D
The sun is slowly fading and it’s colder than the sea
G D C G
It is written from the desert to the mountains they shall lead us
Em G D
By the hand and by the heart they will comfort you and me
C G D
In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free
G D C G
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers
Em G C D
Their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day
G D C G
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers
Em G D C G
Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way…
