Falling Leaves (the Refugees) Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Higher Ground Album, and has also been released on The Gift You Are and The John Denver Collection - Sunshine On My Shoulder Albums. 

 

Thank you for this precious day 

These gifts you give to me 

My heart so full of love for you 

Sings praise for all I see 

Oh sing for every mother's child 

For every childhood tear 

Oh sing for all the stars above 

The peace beyond all fear

This is for the refugees 

The ones without a home 

A boat out on the ocean 

A city street alone 

Are they not some dear mother's child 

Are they not you and I 

Are we the ones to bear this shame 

And they this sacrifice 

 

Or are they just like falling leaves 

Who give themselves away 

From dust to dust from seed to shear 

And to another day 

If I could have one wish on Earth 

Of all I can conceive 

T'would be to see another spring 

And bless the falling leaves

Thank you for this precious day 

These gifts you give to me 

My heart so full of love for you 

Sings praise for all I see 

Oh sing for every mother's child 

For every childhood tear 

Oh sing for all the stars above 

The peace beyond all fear
