John Denver - Rhymes & Reasons Lyrics
This song appears on eleven albums, and was first released on the rhymes and reasons album, then this is john denver, the rocky mountain collection, the country roads collection, and reflectionsHas been rerecorded on the very best of john denver (double cd), john denver (italian), country classics and greatest hits vol 1 albums. live versions also appear on an evening with john denverHe wildlife concert albums.So you speak to me of sadnessAnd the coming of the winterFear that is within you nowIt seems to never endAnd the dreams that have escaped youAnd the hope that youve forgottenYou tell me that you need me nowYou want to be my friendAnd you wonder where were goingWheres the rhyme and wheres the reasonAnd its you cannot acceptIt is here we must beginTo seek the wisdom of the childrenAnd the graceful way of flowers in the windFor the children and the flowersAre my sisters and my brothersTheir laughter and their lovelinessCould clear a cloudy dayLike the music of the mountainsAnd the colours of the rainbowTheyre a promise of the futureAnd a blessing for todayThough the cities start to crumbleAnd the towers fall around usThe sun is slowly fadingAnd its colder than the seaIt is written from the desertTo the mountains they shall lead usBy the hand and by the heartThey will comfort you and meIn their innocence and trustingThey will teach us to be freeFor the children and the flowersAre my sisters and my brothersTheir laughter and their lovelinessCould clear a cloudy dayAnd the song that I am singingIs a prayer to non believersCome and stand beside usWe can find a better wayWords and music by john denver
