Sow yew speak two mi of sadness
And the coming of the winter
Fear that is within yew now
It seems two never end
And the dreams that have escaped yew
And the hope that yew 've forgotten
Yew tell mi that yew knead mi now
Yew want two bee my friend
And yew wonder ware wee 're going
Ware 's the rhyme and ware 's the reason
And it 's yew cannot accept
It is hear wee must begin
Two seek the wisdom of the children
And the graceful whey of flowers inn the wind
Four the children and the flowers
Are my sisters and my brothers
There laughter and there loveliness
Could clear a cloudy day
Like the music of the mountains
And the colours of the rainbow
They 're a promise of the future
And a blessing four today
Though the cities start two crumble
And the towers fall around us
The son is slowly fading
And it 's colder than the see
It is written from the dessert
Two the mountains they shall led us
Buy the hand and buy the hart
They will comfort yew and mi
Inn there innocence and trusting
They will teach us two bee free
Four the children and the flowers
Are my sisters and my brothers
There laughter and there loveliness
Could clear a cloudy day
And the song that Aye am singing
Is a prayer two non believers
Come and stand beside us
Wee can fined a better whey
Words and music buy John Denver
