Rhymes and Reasons

John Denver

G/D xx0787 C/D xx0558 D(add11) xx0032 So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter, The fear that is within you now, and it seems to never end, And the dreams that have escaped you, and the hope that you've forgotten, And you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend, And you wonder where we're going, where's the rhyme and where's the reason? And it's you cannot accept, it is here we must begin To seek the wisdom of the children And the graceful way of flowers in the wind. For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers - Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day. Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow, They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today. Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us, The sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea, It is written, "From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us. By the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me. In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free." For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers - Their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day. And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers. Come and stand beside us - we can find a better way.

La chanson évoque des thèmes de tristesse et d'incertitude face à l'avenir, à travers le regard d'une personne qui exprime sa peine et son besoin de soutien. Elle souligne l'importance de la sagesse des enfants et de la beauté de la nature, qui peuvent nous guider et nous apporter réconfort et espoir. Dans un monde souvent sombre, où les défis et la désillusion sont présents, il est essentiel de se reconnecter à cette innocence et à cette joie pure qui nous entourent. Le contexte est celui d'une réflexion sur notre société moderne, qui vacille sous le poids des difficultés, tout en rappelant que les valeurs simples et les liens humains sont fondamentaux. L'idée que, même face à l'adversité, il est possible de trouver un chemin vers la liberté et le bonheur ensemble est au cœur du message.
