Artist/Band: John Denver
Lyrics for Song: Children Of The Universe
Lyrics for Album: Sunshine On My Shoulders: Best Of [2009]



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
