Leaves
My darling once said to me
"Why do wars have to be
With us all fighting constantly and hurting everyone"
I said, "In all honesty
We're just like leaves upon a tree
And you know just as well as me
That every tree is searching for the sun
And if we're weak and we don't fight
We'll be down there in the dark of night
And we can never see the light of day
But if we climb up to the top
We can strive and then get what
We need and nothing can stop or block our way"
Than my darling looked at me
And said, "In all honesty
Surely in our forest here
There's room enough for each and all the trees"
Sadly as I let it go
I badly wished that it were so
Knowing well all young trees grow
From forest floors all strewn with fallen leaves
"Why do wars have to be
With us all fighting constantly and hurting everyone"
I said, "In all honesty
We're just like leaves upon a tree
And you know just as well as me
That every tree is searching for the sun
And if we're weak and we don't fight
We'll be down there in the dark of night
And we can never see the light of day
But if we climb up to the top
We can strive and then get what
We need and nothing can stop or block our way"
Than my darling looked at me
And said, "In all honesty
Surely in our forest here
There's room enough for each and all the trees"
Sadly as I let it go
I badly wished that it were so
Knowing well all young trees grow
From forest floors all strewn with fallen leaves
