[00:08.110] | So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter, |
[00:15.000] | the fear that is within you now, it seems to never end. |
[00:21.510] | And the dreams that have escaped you, |
[00:24.880] | And the hopes that you've forgotten. |
[00:28.100] | And you tell me that you need me now, |
[00:33.100] | And you want to be my friend. |
[00:35.500] | And you wonder where we're going, |
[00:38.820] | where's the rhyme and where is the reason? |
[00:42.570] | And if you cannot accept it is here we must begin, |
[00:47.440] | to seek the wisdom of the children, |
[00:53.500] | and the graceful way of flowers in the wind. |
[00:56.560] | For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, |
[01:05.000] | their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day. |
[01:10.010] | Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow, |
[01:11.930] | they're a promise of the future and a blessing for today. |
[01:29.859] | Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us, |
[01:36.020] | the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea. |
[01:39.050] | It is written: "From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us, |
[01:55.950] | by the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me. |
[02:23.460] | In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free." |
[02:32.900] | For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, |
[02:40.230] | their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day. |
[02:50.000] | And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers: |
[02:50.340] | "Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way." |
[00:08.110] | So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter, |
[00:15.000] | the fear that is within you now, it seems to never end. |
[00:21.510] | And the dreams that have escaped you, |
[00:24.880] | And the hopes that you' ve forgotten. |

[00:35.500] | And you wonder where we' re going, |
[00:38.820] | where' s the rhyme and where is the reason? |
