"Rhyme and Reason" by John Denver

seq. by JDewbre@aol.com kar by Adagio

So you speak to me of sadness
And the coming of the winter
The 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
You want to be my friend.
And you wonder where we're going,
Where's the rhyme and where's the reason?
And it's you who 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 sisters and my brothers,
Their laughter and their loveliness
Can clear a cloudy day.
Like the music of the mountains
And the colors of the rainbow
They're a promise of the future
And a blessing for today.

Though the cities 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 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 sisters and my brothers,
Their laughter and their loveliness
Would clear a cloudy day.
And the song that I am singing
Is a prayer to non believers,
Come and stand beside us
We can find a better way.
