Okay so it's not really country (and you might argue that its not

really good either) but here it is for what it's worth

Children of the Universe

Written and performed by John Denver on "Earth Day"

Cmaj7 Gm7

A Heritage of vision was given to us all

Cmaj7

To smell the rose's fragrance,

Gm7 Fmaj7

to hear the songbird's call

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

To watch the distant moonlight

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

fill the coming of the tides

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

To understand that life is more

Fmaj7 Am

than always choosing sides

G Fmaj7 Bb9

Cmaj7

And some have seen what can be seen

Gm7

Of sailing ships and kings

Cmaj7

And some are given feet of clay

Gm7 Fmaj7

and some are given wings

Cmaj7

Some must struggle just to breathe

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

Some have a golden spoon

Fmaj7 Cmaj7

And some will never leave the nest

Fmaj7 Am

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 oceans know no bounds for all that live are brothers

The whip-poor-will, 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
