Tune down one full tone.
G D/F# C/E G
So you speak to me in sadness and the coming of the winter,
Though the city starts to crumble and the towers fail around us
Em Bm C D
fear that is within' you know that seems to never end,
the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea
G D/F# C/E G
and the dreams that have escaped you and the hope that you've forgotten
it is written: From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us
Em G D
and you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend
by the hand and by the heart and they will comfort you and me.
C G D/F#
and you wonder where we're going, where's the rhyme and where's the reason
In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free.
Em G D/F#
and it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin
[Instrumental]
Am
to seek the wisdom of the children
G C D
and the graceful way of flowers in the wind.
[Instrumental]
G D/F# C/E G
For the children and the flowers for my sisters and my brothers,
For the children and the flowers for my sisters and my brothers,
Em Bm C D
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
G D/F# C/E G
Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow
And the song that I am singing is a prayer for nonbelievers
Em G D7/F# G C/G D7/G
they're a promise of the future and the blessing for today.
Em G D7/F# C/G G C/G D7/G G
come and stand beside us we can find a better way.
