Peaceful Dreams
Peaceful dreams, faded memories,
Many loved ones passed and gone
Stories told to young by elders,
Fables wrote and turned to stone
Once I stood among the timbers,
Rising high up to the sky
Now it’s turned to stone and cinders,
No one knows the reason why
Peaceful dreams, faded memories,
Many loved ones passed and gone
Stories told to young by elders,
Fables wrote and turned to stone
Lakes and streams once were many
Deer and fowl were free to roam
But it’s gone and there’s no ending
To the wrath man has brought on
Peaceful dreams, faded memories,
Many loved ones passed and gone
Stories told to young by elders,
Fables wrote and turned to stone
Life is sweet, life is simple
Never had to rush around
Noisy cars, crowded cities
Have taken all my sacred ground
Peaceful dreams, faded memories,
Many loved ones passed and gone
Stories told to young by elders,
Fables wrote and turned to stone
