Fallen Leaves , Soldier Tree
torrent of tear's fall , as a springtime rain
the earth quakes , rumbles , from all the pain
my chest heaves from the anguish i see
fallen leaves from the Soldier Tree
the hurt inside is'nt easy to hide
blood stained sleeves is all i find
as one leaf fall's amongst from thee
all the rest will follow thee
one loss is everybody's loss
why do these war's have to be fought ?
when did it all begin , when will it all end ?
not every good soldier get's to come home
your courage will be forever known
you are not just anybody's son or daughter
you are everybody's brave sent to slaughter
i will alway's remember the pain i see
as i watch the leaves fall........
from the Soldier Tree .
