Children of the Universe
A
heritage of vision
Was given to us all
To smell the roses fragrance
To
hear the songbirds call
To watch the distant moonlight fill
The coming of
the tides
To understand that life is more
Than always choosing sides
And
some have seen what can be seen
Of sailing ships and kings
And some are
given feet of clay
And some are given wings
And some must struggle just
to breathe
Some have a golden spoon
And some will never leave the nest
While
some walk on the moon
And
don't you know the life that lives
Within the silent hills
Is just as rich
and beautiful
And just as unfulfilled
As man with all his intellect
His
reason and his choice
Oh, who's to say the nightingale
Has any less a voice
The
silver dolphins twist and dance
And sing to one another
The cosmic ocean
knows no bounds
For all that lives are brothers
The whippoorwill, the grizzly
bear
The elephant, the whale
All children of the universe
All weavers
of the tale
So
palomino lie back down
And dream yourself to sleep
The hawk flies with the
morning dove
The lion with the sheep
As far away as you may go
Well never
be apart
Its in your dreams that you will know
The seasons of the heart
Words and music by John Denver
