So you speak to me of 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 hopes 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, 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 are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day
Like the music on 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 a desert to the mountains
They shall lead us
By the hand and by the heart
They'll comfort you and me
In their innocence and trusting
They'll teach us to be free
For the children and the flowers are 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 non-believers
Come and stand beside us
We can find a better way

So you speak to me of 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 hopes 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, 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 are my sisters and my brothers
Their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day
Like the music on 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 a desert to the mountains
They shall lead us
By the hand and by the heart
They'll comfort you and me
In their innocence and trusting
They'll teach us to be free
For the children and the flowers are 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 non-believers
Come and stand beside us
We can find a better way
