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