_ _ _ _ So you speak to me [C] of sadness _ [Bb] and the coming of the [F] winter,
_ _ _ [Dm] Fear that is within you [Bb] now and seems to never [C] end,
_ [F] And the dreams that have [Em] escaped you, [Bb] and the hope that you've [F] forgotten,
_ _ [Dm] And you tell me [F] that you need me now, [C] and you want to be my friend,
And [Bb] you wonder where we're going, where's the [F] ride, [C] where's the reason,
_ [Dm] And if you cannot [F] accept, _ [C] it is here we must begin
To seek [G] the [Gm] wisdom of the children, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And the [F] _ graceful way [Bb] of flowers [Am] in [C] the _ wind,
_ _ [F] For the children and [Em] the flowers [Bb] are my sisters and [F] my brothers,
_ [Dm] Their laughter and their _ loveliness [Bb] would clear a cloudy [C] day,
Like [F] the music of [C] the mountains _ [Bb] and the colors of the [F] rainbow,
_ [Dm] They're a promise of [F] the future _ [C] and a blessing for [F] today. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Though the cities start to [C] crumble _ and [Bb] the towers fall [F] around us,
[Dm] The sun is slowly [Am] fading [Bb] and it's colder than [C] the sea,
[F] It is written from the [C] desert [Bb] to the mountains they shall [F] lead us,
By [Dm] the hand and by [F] the heart, and [C] they will comfort you and me,
In [Bb] their innocence and trusting, they [F] will teach us to [C] be free.
_ _ _ For [F] the children and [C] the flowers are [Bb] my sisters and [F] my brothers,
_ [D] Their laughter and their [Am] loveliness [Bb] would clear a cloudy [C] day,
And [F] the song that I [Bb] am singing _ [C] is a prayer to [F] non-believers,
_ [E] [Dm] Come and stand [F] beside us, [C] we can _ find a [Bb] better _ way. _
