Children of the Universe
Written and performed by John Denver on "Earth Day"
Cmaj7 Gm7
A Heritage of vision was given to us all
Cmaj7
To smell the rose's fragrance,
Gm7 Fmaj7
to hear the songbird's call
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
To watch the distant moonlight
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
fill the coming of the tides
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
To understand that life is more
Fmaj7 Am
than always choosing sides
G Fmaj7 Bb9
Cmaj7
And some have seen what can be seen
Gm7
Of sailing ships and kings
Cmaj7
And some are given feet of clay
Gm7 Fmaj7
and some are given wings
Cmaj7
Some must struggle just to breathe
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Some have a golden spoon
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And some will never leave the nest
Fmaj7 Am
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 oceans know no bounds for all that live are brothers
The whip-poor-will, 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
