[00:13.21] | So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter, |
[00:20.70] | the fear that is within you now, it seems to never end. |
[00:27.21] | The dreams that have escaped you, |
[00:30.58] | And the hopes that you've forgotten. |
[00:33.08] | You tell me that you need me now, |
[00:38.08] | you want to be my friend. |
[00:41.02] | And you wonder where we're going, |
[00:44.52] | where's the rhyme and where is the reason? |
[00:48.27] | And if you cannot accept it is here we must begin, |
[00:53.14] | to seek the wisdom of the children, |
[00:59.20] | and the graceful way of flowers in the wind. |
[01:02.26] | For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, |
[01:10.70] | their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day. |
[01:15.71] | Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow, |
[01:22.73] | they're a promise of the future and a blessing for today. |
[01:35.10] | |
[01:45.76] | Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us, |
[01:52.82] | the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea. |
[01:59.45] | It is written: "From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us, |
[02:06.45] | by the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me. |
[02:13.26] | In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free." |
[02:22.07] | For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, |
[02:29.13] | their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day. |
[02:36.20] | And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers: |
[02:43.44] | "Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way." |
[00:13.21] | So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter, |
[00:20.70] | the fear that is within you now, it seems to never end. |
[00:27.21] | The dreams that have escaped you, |
[00:30.58] | And the hopes that you' ve forgotten. |
