Rhymes and Reasons

So you speak to me of sadness
 And the coming of the winter
 Fear that is within you now
 That 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 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
 Would clear a cloudy day
 Like the music of the mountains
 And the colours 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
 Who come and stand beside us, we can find a better way
