THIS IS FOR THE REFUGEES 
             G      C 
THE ONES WITHOUT A HOME 
            G     F C 
A BOAT OUT ON THE OCEAN 
      G      C 
CITY STREET ALONE 
     G                  F        C 
ARE THEY NOT SOME DEAR MOTHER'S CHILD 
     G        F      C 
ARE THEY NOT YOU AND I 
    G               F         C 
ARE WE THE ONES TO BEAR THIS SHAME 
     F         G   C 
ARE THEY THIS SACRIFICE. 

    C        G         F       C 
OR ARE THEY JUST LIKE FALLING LEAVES 
              G       C 
WHO GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY 
               G        F       C 
FROM DUST TO DUST FROM SEED TO SHEAR 
         G      C 
AND TO ANOTHER DAY 
   G                 F       C 
IF I COULD HAVE ONE WISH ON EARTH 
   G      F      C 
OF ALL I CAN CONCEIVE 
         G           F      C 
IT WOULD BE TO SEE ANOTHER SPRING 
     F         G       C 
AND BLESS THE FALLING LEAVES.
