Rhymes And Reasons - Mary Travers[00:00:00]
Written by:Denver John[00:00:01]
So you speak to me of sadness[00:00:11]
And the coming of the winter[00:00:15]
Fear that is within you now[00:00:18]
It seems to never end[00:00:21]
And the dreams that have escaped you[00:00:24]
And the hope that you've forgotten[00:00:28]
And you tell me that you need me now[00:00:31]
And you want to be my friend[00:00:34]
And you wonder where we're going[00:00:37]
Where's the rhyme and where's the reason[00:00:40]
And it's you who can not accept[00:00:43]
It is here we must begin[00:00:46]
To seek the wisdom of the children[00:00:49]
And the graceful way of flowers in the wind[00:00:55]
For the children and the flowers[00:01:02]
Are my sisters and my brothers[00:01:05]
Their laughter and their loveliness[00:01:08]
Could clear a cloudy day[00:01:11]
Like the music of the mountains[00:01:14]
And the colours of the rainbow[00:01:17]
They're a promise of the future[00:01:21]
And a blessing for today[00:01:24]
Though the cities start to crumble[00:01:31]
And the towers fall around us[00:01:34]
The sun is slowly fading[00:01:37]
And it's colder than the sea[00:01:40]
It is written from the desert[00:01:44]
To the mountains they shall lead us[00:01:46]
By the hand and by the heart[00:01:50]
They will comfort you and me[00:01:52]
In their innocence and trusting[00:01:56]
They will teach us to be free[00:01:59]
For the children and the flowers[00:02:03]
Are my sisters and my brothers[00:02:06]
Their laughter and their loveliness[00:02:10]
Could clear a cloudy day[00:02:13]
And the song that I am singing[00:02:16]
Is a prayer to non-believers[00:02:18]
Come and stand beside us[00:02:22]
We can find a better way[00:02:24]
