Текст песни: Children of the Universe + перевод

A heritage of vision

Was given to us all

To smell the rose’s fragrance

To hear the songbird’s 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

And 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

The silver dolphins twist and dance

And sing to one another

The cosmic ocean knows no bounds

For all that lives 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 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

Words and music by John Denver
