The world is now facing the largest number of refugees since World War Two. A large number of these refugees are fleeing for their lives, and it is often a result of US policies or US weapon sales.
In honor of all these refugees around the world today - may they one day be welcomed to their new homes, and no longer fear for their lives or their children’s lives. Maybe one day, the haters will wake up and realize we are all one human family, no matter what we look like or where we are born. May we one day find "the peace beyond all fear".
Lyrics to John Denver’s song:
Falling Leaves (the Refugees)
Thank You for this precious day
These gifts You give to me
My heart so full of love for You
Sings praise for all I see
Oh, sing for every mother's love
For every childhood tear
Oh, sing for all the stars above
The peace beyond all fear
This is for The Refugees
The ones without a home
A boat out on the ocean
A city street alone
Are they not some dear mother's child?
Are they not you and I?
Are we the ones to bear this shame
And they this sacrifice?
Or are they just like falling leaves
Who give themselves away?
From dust to dust, from seed to shear
And to another day
If I could have one wish on Earth
Of all I can conceive
T'would be to see another spring
And bless the falling leaves
Thank You for this precious day
These gifts You give to me
My heart so full of love for You
Sings praise for all I see
Oh, sing for every mothers love
For every childhood tear
Oh, sing for all the stars above
The peace beyond all fear
Oh, sing for all the stars above
The peace beyond all fear
