_ [Eb] _ Children [Cm] are people who live in [Bb] a land made [Eb] of raindrops [Cm] and puddles [F] and pebbles [Gm] and streams,
_ _ [Cm] solemnly watching a [Fm] twig as it sails [Eb] on a clear [Fm] crystal pool to [Ab] an island [Eb] of dreams.
[Cm] There go [F] a pair [Cm] who have just [F] built a city [Cm] of mud, _ and [F] it's _ _ _ real.
[D] They know that mud doesn't look [G] very pretty, [Dm] but ooh, _ [F]
how it _ _ [Bb] feels.

I stand by [Ab] while my children say [Dbm] theirs, _ watching [Gb] them _ _ [Gbm] kneeling,
_ [E] _ _ [Abm] and I [A] could cry that one [D] day they'll [E] forget _ _ [Ab]
all [A] that they're _ _ [Am] feeling.
