1.
Standing beneath the tree
Leaves starting to fall,
I caught a leaf,
My daughter said
Lots of money will come your way!
Within three days
The bank of Mum and Dad was raided,
The insurance for the car was paid,
And a bill for care was due.
I think my daughter meant to say,
Lots of money will go away.

Standing beneath the tree
Leaves starting to fall,
I caught a leaf and wished,
Wished for peace in our world,
Wished for the hatred to be turned,
To be turned into love,
Into love of mankind to each other.
