PEACEFUL DREAMS
H.Handy
Ch. Peaceful dreams, faded memories
Many loved ones past and gone
Stories told to young by elders
Fables wrote and turned to song
1. Once I stood among the timber
Risin' high up to the sky
Now it's turned to stone and cinders
No one knows the reason why
Ch.
2. Lakes and steams once were many
Deer and fowl were free to roam
But it's gone and there's no endin'
To the wrath man has brought on
Ch.
3. Life was sweet and life was simple
Never had to rush around
Noisy cars and crowded cities
Have taken all my sacred ground
Ch.
