            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 now 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.
