Rhymes and reasons

       So you speak to me of sadness 
       And a coming of the winter 
       Fear that is within you now 
       That seems to never end 
       And the dreams that have escape you 
       And a hope that you've forgotten 
       You tell me that you need me now 
       And you want to be my friend 
       And you wonder where you're going 
       Where the rhymes, where 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 sister and my brother 
       Their laughter and their loveliness 
       Would clear the cloudy day 
       Like the music of the mountain 
       And the colors of the rainbow 
       There's a promise of the future 
       And the blessing for today 

       Though the city start to crumble 
       And the tower fall around us 
       The sun is slowly fading 
       And it's colder than the sea 
       It is written from the desert 
       To the mountain 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 sister and my brother 
       Their laughter and their loveliness 
       Would clear a cloudy day 
       And the songs that I am singing 
       Is a prayer to non believers 
       Come and stand beside us, 
       We can find the better way
