John Denver Lyrics for Song: Children Of The Universe
 Lyrics for Album: Sunshine On My Shoulders: Best Of [2009]
 
 
 
 19770>A heritage of vision was given to us all
 
 smell the rose's fragrance
 
 To hear the songbird 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
 
 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
 
 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 mourning 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
