John Denver - Children Of The Universe Lyrics
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the seasons of the heart. album, and has also been released on the earth songs, the john denver collection - sunshine on my shoulder aE very best of john denver (single cd) albums.A heritage of visionWas given to us allTo smell the roses fragranceTo hear the songbirds callTo watch the distant moonlight fillThe coming of the tidesTo understand that life is moreThan always choosing sidesAnd some have seen what can be seenOf sailing ships and kingsAnd some are given feet of clayAnd some are given wingsAnd some must struggle just to breatheSome have a golden spoonAnd some will never leave the nestWhile some walk on the moonAnd dont you know the life that livesWithin the silent hillsIs just as rich and beautifulAnd just as unfulfilledAs man with all his intellectHis reason and his choiceOh, whos to say the nightingaleHas any less a voiceThe silver dolphins twist and danceAnd sing to one anotherThe cosmic ocean knows no boundsFor all that lives are brothersThe whippoorwill, the grizzly bearThe elephant, the whaleAll children of the universeAll weavers of the taleSo palomino lie back downAnd dream yourself to sleepThe hawk flies with the morning doveThe lion with the sheepAs far away as you may goWell never be apartIts in your dreams that you will knowThe seasons of the heartWords and music by john denver
