For the children and the flowers
And it's you cannot accept
And you wonder where we're going
Come and stand beside us
Their laughter and their loveliness
They're a promise of the future
And the dreams that have escaped you
And a blessing for today
And the hope that you've forgotten
Is a prayer to nonbelievers
And you tell me that you need me now
Are my sisters and my brothers
It is here we must begin
Are my sisters and my brothers
To the mountains they shall lead us
Where's the rhyme and where's the reason
Like the music of the mountains
And it's colder than the sea
For the children and the flowers
And the graceful way of flowers in the wind
It is written from the desert
Would clear a cloudy day
To seek the wisdom of the children
And they will comfort you and me
By the hand and by the heart
The sun is slowly fading
They will teach us to be free
Their laughter and their loveliness
Would clear a cloudy day
And the colors of the rainbow
Fear that is within you now that seems to never end
And the song that I am singing
In their innocence and trusting
Though the cities start to crumble
And you want to be my friend
And the towers fall around us
