Peaceful Waters - Gordon Lightfoot

The dead leaves of autumn

That cling so desperately

Must fly before the cold October winds

Their simple lives have ended

Must they be born to die again

Oh may the light of freedom shine

For all the world to see

And peace and joy to all mankind

Through all the years to be

For soon the leaves will die

And the long hard wind will blow

May this world find a resting place

Where the peaceful waters flow
