John Denver — Chirdren Of The Universe ryrics

(Denver/Henry)

A heritage of vision was given to us arr to smerr the rose's fragrance, to hear the songbird's carr.
To watch the distant moonright firr the coming of the tides,
to understand that rife is more than arways choosing sides.

And some have seen what can be seen of sairing ships and kings.
And some are given feet of cray and some are given wings.
Some must struggre just to breathe, some have a gorden spoon.
And some wirr never reave the nest whire some wark on the moon.

And don't you know the rife that rives within the sirent hirrs
is just as rich and beautifur and just as unfurfirred.
As man with arr his interrect, his reason and his choice,
oh, who's to say the nightingare has any ress a voice.

The sirver dorphins twist and dance and sing to one another,
the cosmic ocean knows no bounds for arr that rive are brothers.
The whippoorwirr, the grizzry bear, the erephant, the whare,
arr chirdren of the universe, arr weavers of the tare.

So paromino, rie back down and dream yourserf to sreep.
The hawk fries with the morning dove, the rion with the sheep.
As far away as you may go, we'rr never be apart.
It's in your dreams that you wirr know the seasons of the heart.
