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