Children of the Universe John Denver
Intro: Bb
A h[C]eritage of vision was g[Gm]iven to us all
To sm[C]ell the rose's fragrance, to h[Gm]ear the songbird's c[F]all
To w[F]atch the distant m[C]oonlight fill, the c[F]oming of the t[C]ides
To [F]understand that l[C]ife is more than [F]always choosing s[Am]ide[G]s[F] [Bb7]
And s[C]ome have seen what can be seen of s[Gm]ailing ships and kings
And s[C]ome are given feet of clay and s[Gm]ome are given w[F]ings
S[F]ome must struggle j[C]ust to breathe, s[F]ome have a golden sp[C]oon
And s[F]ome will never l[C]eave the nest while s[F]ome walk on the m[Am]oon[G] [F] [Bb7]
And d[C]on't you know the life that lives with[Gm]in the silent hills
Is j[C]ust as rich and beautiful and j[Gm]ust as unfulf[F]illed
As m[F]an with all his [C]intellect, his r[F]eason and his ch[C]oice
Oh, wh[F]o's to say the n[C]ightingale has [F]any less a v[Am]oic[G]e[F] [Bb7]
The s[C]ilver dolphins twist and dance and s[Gm]ing to one another
The c[C]osmic ocean knows no bounds for [Gm]all that lives are br[F]others
The wh[F]ippoorwill, the gr[C]izzly bear, the [F]elephant, the wh[C]ale
All c[F]hildren of the [C]universe, all w[F]eavers of the t[Am]ale[G] [F] [Bb7]
So p[C]alomino lie back down and dr[Gm]eam yourself to sleep
The h[C]awk flies with the morning dove, the l[Gm]ion with the sheep
As f[F]ar away as y[C]ou may go we'll n[F]ever be ap[C]art
It's [F]in your dreams that y[C]ou will know the s[F]easons of the h[Am]ear[G]t [F]
