As the  autumn leaves fall so will I

As the autumn leaves fall so will I.

Even ancient trees will meet their end

And on our mother earth we all shall lie.

Every living thing must one day die

And into soil and earth we all descend

As the autumn leves fall so you and I

In the winter wind the trees will sigh

Death can’t be undone, we cannot mend

In our mother earth we all shall lie

But why do we have wars where babies die ?

Where hostages are tortured, reason bends

As the autumn leaves fly so will I

The hospitals are shelled, the wounded cry.

Oh, human sacrifice that never ends

And  in our mother earth they all will lie

Can ancient foes forgive as if they are friends?

Only in the earth where we all blend?

As the autumn leaves fall so will I

And with dead  leaves and  seeds we all shall lie
