[Intro]
| F | C7sus4/F |

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
Fadd11       F                 C/E          Bb
      So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the
   F
winter
Dm                 Am                  Bb         C
Fear that is within  you now that seems  to never end
        F                       C/E
And the dreams that have escaped   you
        Bb                     F
And the hope that you've forgotten
        Dm                   F
And you tell me that you need me now
        C/E
And you want to be my friend

[Chorus]
        Bb
And you wonder where we're going
            F                        C/E
Where's the rhyme and where's the reason?
         Dm               F      C/E
And it's you cannot accept it is here we must begin
               Gm
To seek the wisdom of the children
        F        C/E    Bb      F/A        C7
And the graceful way of flowers in the wind

[Verse 2]
        F                   C/E         Bb
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my
F
brothers
      Dm                     Am                Bb
Their laughter and their loveliness would clear  a cloudy
C
day
         F                C/E           Bb
Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the
    F
rainbow
          Dm               F          C/E               F
They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today

[Verse 3]
Gm7
C7           F                   C/E         Bb
  Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall
      F
around us
    Dm              Am            Bb              C
The sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea
      F                    C/E             Bb
It is written: "From the desert to the mountains they shall
F
lead us
           Dm           F
By the hand  and by the heart,
                 C/E
and they will comfort you and me
         Bb
In their innocence and trusting,
               F         C/E
they will teach us to be free."

C/E        F                   C/E         Bb
   For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my
F
brothers
      Dm                     Am                Bb

C
day
        F              C/E          Bb             F
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers:
Dm                F
"Come and stand beside us,
       C/E                Bb
we can find a better way."
