Bb
Intro:
C Gm
A heritage of vision was given to us all
C Gm F
To smell the rose's fragrance, to hear the songbird's call
F C F C
To watch the distant moonlight fill, the coming of the tides
F C F Am G F Bb7
To understand that life is more than always choosing sides
C Gm
And some have seen what can be seen of sailing ships and kings
C Gm F
And some are given feet of clay and some are given wings
F C F C
Some must struggle just to breathe, some have a golden spoon
F C F Am G F Bb7
And some will never leave the nest while some walk on the moon
C Gm
And don't you know the life that lives within the silent hills
C Gm F
Is just as rich and beautiful and just as unfulfilled
F C F C
As man with all his intellect, his reason and his choice
F C F Am G F Bb7
Oh, who's to say the nightingale has any less a voice
C Gm
The silver dolphins twist and dance and sing to one another
C Gm F
The cosmic ocean knows no bounds for all that lives are brothers
F C F C
The whippoorwill, the grizzly bear, the elephant, the whale
F C F Am G F Bb7
All children of the universe, all weavers of the tale
C Gm
So palomino lie back down and dream yourself to sleep
C Gm
The hawk flies with the morning dove, the lion with the sheep
F C F C
As far away as you may go we'll never be apart
F C F Am G F
It's in your dreams that you will know the seasons of the heart
