Rhymes And Reasons-John Denver

[00:13.21]So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter, [00:20.70]the fear that is within you now, it seems to never end. [00:27.21]The dreams that have escaped you, [00:30.58]And the hopes that you've forgotten. [00:33.08]You tell me that you need me now, [00:38.08]you want to be my friend. [00:41.02]And you wonder where we're going, [00:44.52]where's the rhyme and where is the reason? [00:48.27]And if you cannot accept it is here we must begin, [00:53.14]to seek the wisdom of the children, [00:59.20]and the graceful way of flowers in the wind. [01:02.26]For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, [01:10.70]their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day. [01:15.71]Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow, [01:22.73]they're a promise of the future and a blessing for today. [01:35.10] [01:45.76]Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us, [01:52.82]the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea. [01:59.45]It is written: ＂From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us, [02:06.45]by the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me. [02:13.26]In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free.＂ [02:22.07]For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, [02:29.13]their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day. [02:36.20]And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers: [02:43.44]＂Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way.＂
