So you speak to me in 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 the hope that you've forgotten 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 and the flowers All 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 rainbow They're a promise of the future And the blessing for today Though the city start to crumble And the towers fall around us The sun is slowly fading And it's colder than the sea It is written, from the desert To the mountains they shall lead us By the hands and by the hearts They will comfort you and me In their innocence and trusting They will teach us to be free For the children and the flowers All 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 nonbelievers Come and stand beside us We can find a better way
