Rhymes & Reasons

Though the cities start to crumble
And you tell me that you need me now
Their laughter and their loveliness
Would clear a cloudy day
And the dreams that have escaped you
To seek the wisdom of the children
And the towers fall around us
It is here we must begin
The sun is slowly fading
To the mountains they shall lead us
And the colors of the rainbow
Where's the rhyme and where's the reason
Their laughter and their loveliness
Is a prayer to nonbelievers
And the graceful way of flowers in the wind
Are my sisters and my brothers
For the children and the flowers
And you wonder where we're going
Would clear a cloudy day
And you want to be my friend

And they will comfort you and me
In their innocence and trusting
For the children and the flowers
And a blessing for today
And it's you cannot accept
They will teach us to be free

Like the music of the mountains
They're a promise of the future
And the hope that you've forgotten
Are my sisters and my brothers
By the hand and by the heart

And the song that I am singing

Come and stand beside us
Fear that is within you now that seems to never end
It is written from the desert
And it's colder than the sea
