Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.  Corinthians 15:51-52

It's under the leaves
Oh the leaves of life 
There comes children seven 
And one by one they'll come to ask
What have we done to heaven 

And where are the leaves 
Oh the leaves of life 
Who gave us protection  
Who gave root and bough
To raise our vows  
Why has she been forsaken  

Oh mother dear,
You're a weeping tree
For your weeping, it does disarm
We've been entranced to a scarcity dance
Wellawayed by false idolatries 

She asks us what we are looking for
All under the leaves of life 
We are looking for shade 
From Earth's retrograde
From the scorch, from the scythe, and scathe

Bright morning star arising 
Day is breaking in my soul  

Children go where I send thee
Where have you sent thee?
Far from the leaves of life 
To tend to our dear mother's grave 
And be scribes to our father's rage 

Where are our dear fathers
Where are our dear mothers
Where are our dear arbours 
Day is breaking in my soul
