Verse 1
G+G E minorEm B minorBm E minorEm
Leaf falls to kiss the image of a mountain
G+G E minorEm A minorAm
the early morning mist has ceased to play

Birds dancing lightly on the branches by a fountain

Of a waterfall which dazzles with its spray

For miles and miles around him, a sea of rolling green
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Tomorrow all this beauty won't remain

Rain falls from above and splashes on the ground

And leaping over pebbles makes such a joyful sound

Such is Mother Nature's gift to me

For the sake of man's progression have been drowned
