The Leaves of the Fall
======================
Words and music by John van Gulik

A moving remembrance of the young lives sacrificed in the First and Second World
Wars defending our freedom.

The leaves on the ground are all broken and gray
Their color has gone taking glory away
Onset of winter will bury them all
Such is the season, the season of fall

Leaves of autumn, leaves of the fall
Millions of discarded parts of us all
Time will forget them, forget them it will
And yet they have fallen… The season of fall

The dead are all gone, we remember them still
Lives given freely, buried under a hill
Resting in fields where the red poppies grow
Markings are fading for those down below

Cold sleeping life lays under the snow
Slumbering gently while winter winds blow
Waiting for springtime to finally come
Melting the cover, at last feel the sun

Visions of future beyond paths of war
Hope that the world will see it no more
The dead are not gone, just sleeping away
To rise once again on that last day

Less now remembered except once a year
Memories are fading to soon disappear
Resting and waiting beneath the sod
Forgotten by living but still known to God
