Children Of The Universe (Remastered) - John Denver

作词：Joe Henry/John Denver

作曲：Joe Henry/John Denver

A heritage of vision was given to us all

to smell the rose's fragrance

To hear the songbird's 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

Some must struggle just to breathe s

ome 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 live 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 we'll never be apart

It's in your dreams that you will

know the seasons of the heart
