The Flower That Shattered The Stone Lyrics - John Denver

The Earth is our mother just turning around 

With her trees in the forest and roots underground 

Our father above us who's sigh is the wind 

Paint us a rainbow without any end 

As the river runs freely the mountain does rise 

Let me touch with my fingers and see with my eyes 

In the hearts of the children of pure love still roams 

Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home 

Like the flower that shattered the stone 

Sparrows find freedom beholding the sun 

In the infinite beauty we're all joined in one 

I reach out before me and look to the sky 

Then I hear someone whisper it's something pass by

As the river runs freely the mountain does rise

In the hearts of the children of pure love still roams 

Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home 

Like the flower that shattered the stone 

Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home 

Like the flower that shattered the stone
